Ashmay’s Seeds of Abraham
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to equip the underserved community with resources that will positively impact their lives.
FOCUS AREA
THE 12TH ST. NEIGHBORHOOD CORRIDOR
Nestled within the 12th St. Neighborhood Corridor, our program impacts the McComby-Veazey community and its boundaries between St. Charles St. and S. Magnolia St. Though our programming is primarily in this community, no individual is left unserviced and all are welcome to receive benefits and resources we provide.
“It has been a passion of mine to create something for the community, supported by people who grew up here. ”
— William Ashmay Duncan, Jr.
Late Founder
OUR PILLARS
-
Community Engagement + Neighborhood Strengthening
We promote and offer activities to increase neighborly relations and strengthening.
-
Basic Needs
Through food and needs drives we have provided hundreds with the necessary items to survive.
-
Transitional Housing
Safe and affordable housing options are needed, and we believe that turning a home into a transitional housing unit is an excellent way to make a meaningful impact in our community.
“Ashmay loved his community, he would often talk about doing something to help those less fortunate, be it kids or adults. I was proud to see his dreams come true with Ashmay Seeds of Abraham. We’ve been friends since childhood, and I still miss him and our talks. He’s no longer here, but his legacy will live on through all the people who receive help from his foundation.”
Willie Jackson
“When you invest in community, you secure its legacy.”

“I support ASA because of the commitment to carrying on the legacy of June Duncan while serving the Lafayette community. Their fundraising is unique and fulfills needs that are sometimes overlooked but essential.”
