Community
Our Success Is Intrinsically Linked to the Communities Around Us.
Royal is dedicated to enrich the communities we serve, the lives of our clients, and the environment. That is why each year we partner with local organizations by investing funds and hands-on service that directly impact and produce positive change in our communities.
Our commitment goes beyond financial contributions. We empower our employees to be active volunteers, fostering a culture of giving back and building stronger connections within the communities where we live and work. Royal created its Community Outreach Initiative where an internal team of Royal employees works together to make the greatest impact in our communities. Some of our partner organizations include Hands On NOLA, Habitat for Humanity, The Eden House New Orleans, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), Special Olympics, Veteran Centers, and many more. While our financial contributions directly impact the needs of our communities, the time we spend working directly with these organizations is the most influential way we serve.
Join Us in Making a Difference! We are constantly seeking new ways to expand our Community Outreach Initiative. If you share our values and are passionate about giving back, we encourage you to reach out to us for partnering opportunities.
Eden House New Orleans
Eden House New Orleans offers long-term housing and comprehensive recovery services to survivors of human trafficking. Royal has enthusiastically partnered with Eden House over the past few years working to improve their homes and enhance safety and privacy for its residents. Royal was a sponsor of Eden House New Orleans’ Building Dreams Fundraiser and members of our team attended the event in November 2023. In addition to our financial contributions, Royal set up volunteer days at Eden House fixing plumbing, cleaning houses, and helping with other home repair projects. If you are interested in learning more about Eden House or want information on how to get involved, see the link below.
Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)
CASA advocates for timely placement of children in permanent, safe, and stable homes. Royal has been an active sponsor with CASA for years, participating in the annual fundraiser as well as other volunteer efforts throughout the year. Royal team member, Angella Landry served on the CASA Board for three years, providing us with great opportunities to help support the needs of the organization. Visit the CASA website to learn more about the organization or to donate.
LFT Blood Drives
Each year, Royal hosts the Our Lady of Lourdes Blood Bus at our Lafayette office. Our efforts help ensure the blood bank has a stable supply of blood to care for the hospital’s patients and community – a top priority at the OLOL Donor Center. Several of our team members participate in the blood drive each year, some driving from our Baton Rouge and New Orleans offices. If you are interested in hosting a blood drive, contact OLOL at (337)470–GIVE(4483).
Pack the Backpack
The Gifting Grace Project was started in the fall of 2020 with the purpose of giving back to Acadiana. From July 1- August 1, 2023, Royal partnered with Gifting Grace helping collect backpacks, school supplies, uniforms, and more for homeless children and youth in nine different parishes across Acadiana. Royal assisted with picking up donations, organizing supplies, and packing backpacks. In 2023, Gifting Grace supplied 1,221 full backpacks to children in our local parishes!
