My time here at the NEST has been filled with immense support and love so far. I cannot thank our community of volunteers, donors and supporters enough for making this a smooth transition for me.
I want to especially thank the ladies with the Sun City WHO group for collecting and delivering a generous in-kind donation of food pantry items earlier this month. There were so many snacks and drinks donated that it took four of us multiple trips to bring all the bags inside.
And I would be remiss if I didn’t give a shout out to the 7th grade Girl Scout cadettes from Troupe 2660 who dropped off a dozen or so boxes stuffed to the brim with a variety of Girl Scout cookies. Everything we received this month will be distributed and enjoyed by students in need within our community throughout the remainder of the summer and into the school year. I am so humbled by the acts of kindness I’ve witnessed during the month of July alone.
If anyone is looking for ways to support the NEST as the 2023-24 school year begins, we are especially in need of donations for our hygiene closet, which we use to supply GISD students with basic self-care items and school supplies throughout the year, as well as dinner providers for a handful of open dates in the fall semester.

Feel free to reach out to me with any questions, to set up a donation delivery/pickup time or just to simply put a face to the name! I am available 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Thursday for meetings, tours, etc.
