Freddie Woods opened his apartment door in New Orleans East when he heard the sounds of brass music. Moments later, a canvasser for Together Louisiana a community engagement nonprofit placed a flyer in his hand and told him that the organization was hosting a vaccination event at a church within walking distance from Woods’ home the next day. The All For One Brass Band that drew Woods out of his apartment would be playing at the vaccination event, and the first 100 people to receive shots could enjoy a fish fry.
“This is my first time hearing about it,” Woods said. “But I got to go get it done.”
