NEST4US Service Extravaganza

For this year’s GivingTuesday, calling for youth to give service on November 28. To support this initiative, you can sign up to volunteer and donate your money, items, or your time by checking out our website, www.nest4us.org, and our social media pages!

Give Smiles
Led by Spark leader, Sammie Vance, participants will write letters to those who might need a little boost. You might write letters to: students in a grade younger than yours, seniors at a nursing home, veterans, healthcare workers, the mail carrier, or you could even write to your cousins, friends, or teacher - everyone loves a little reminder that they’re special! Sammie says, “The world needs encouragement and smiles now more than ever and if everyone gives a little bit of kindness, it can add up to something big!”
