Be Well-Come Together

The mission of Be Well-Come Together is to support the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of individuals and communities on the west bank of Jefferson and Orleans parishes in Louisiana.

Be Well- Come Together offers a number of programs, including a free 10 week program that focuses on addressing and preventing health conditions such as obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol and heart disease. We also offer free exercise classes twice a week (Mondays and Fridays). In addition, Be Well-Come Together provides free workshops on topics such as suicide prevention, stress management, nutrition, and financial well-being as well as support groups and healthy cooking classes. Once a month on Sunday evenings, Be Well-Come Together holds "Soul Food". This is a community-gathering around a meal that brings people together from different backgrounds to nourish the heart, mind, and soul by exploring questions of life and faith, sharing experiences, and listening and learning from each other.
Our name helps to explain who we are:
BE WELL ... We focus on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being
WELL-COME….Be part of a welcoming environment where no one is judged, all are accepted, and everyone supports each other.
COME TOGETHER…. Find strength in community - no one should face life's challenges alone. Together, we can improve our lives and our community.
