Krewe officials said the nearly 17-ton donation, that was originally intended to be thrown from multiple floats, will now feed local families in need.
On Friday, March 28, trucks loaded with cabbage, along with several kilt-wearing members were on hand to unload the delivery in festive spirit.
'This donation reflects the heart of what this season is all about — generosity, celebration, and looking out for each other,' said Lance Arnold of the Algiers Irish Rebels.
