Once again, we are so grateful to you for your donations of not only money, but all the groceries to support our Summer Lunch, Learn and Play Program. Although the main focus of NEST is to change the trajectory of the lives of kids in poverty through academics, our summer program is critical in building relationships, maintaining relationships, and loving these kids so that our After-School Program continues to grow and be successful. One hundred percent of all the kids NEST serves are in the federally subsidized Free and Reduced Lunch Program during the school year. This program is obviously not available during the summer and this leaves a huge nutritional hole that their caregivers cannot easily fill during the summer months. William Lambers wrote in his book, The Roadmap to Ending Global Hunger: Nutrition is the foundation of everything. In the attempt to escape poverty, you need the strength to fight through it. Thank you for helping to supply healthy food to support that fight. ~ Evangeline DeVol, Executive Director It s July, which means it s time to start thinking about back to school!
