About Us

The Chris and Lentreise Bardell Family Foundation is a family operated organization established to address the growing need for early childhood resources and early childhood education access in the New Orleans Metropolitan Area.

Mission & Origin Story

The Chris and Lentreise Bardell Family Foundation cultivates success for children in the New Orleans Metropolitan Area through collaboration with early childhood and family advocates dedicated to reshaping and revitalizing our communities.

Naturally, being the parents of two sons and entrepreneurs responsible for the livelihood of hundreds of employees, many of whom are parents themselves, it has always been of great importance to the Bardells to invest back into the community. Though newly created in 2022, the Foundation is a culmination of decades of servicing people throughout Orleans Parish and Jefferson Parish.

The global pandemic inspired them to cultivate a much needed advocate for the growth and success of children in the Greater New Orleans Area, amid the rising challenges in home environments and the uncertainty of education.

The Foundation aims to work with the New Orleans early childhood and family resource networks to transform and strengthen our youth to provide them with the firm foundation needed to have a safe, healthy and sustainable life .
