Our Mission
We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization at Nassau Community College. |
The NEST is committed to fostering health and well-being by providing nourishment and other vital supports to all members of our campus community. We aim to alleviate the presence of hunger and food insecurity in the lives of our students, employees, and their families. In our effort to fight against hunger, we gather and store basic necessities and distribute them with a compassionate hand. We respect the vulnerability and dignity of each person we serve. The NEST, a free-choice food pantry, is an open and inclusive facility that honors the rights and needs of all those who come to our door.
