The Nest offers four FREE programs: early childhood education and care, family assistance for basic human needs, counseling and advocacy for survivors of intimate partner violence, and education and support for parents. Our Family Assistance Program, often the gateway to our other programs, serves over 600 clients each month. This number has doubled since last year. From diapers and car seats to clothing and toiletries, Family Assistance provides for the basic human needs of families in crisis. In addition, we help identify other potential resources and meet current needs while empowering families to confidently move through adversity.
