Food For Family
At Love Dove’s N.E.S.T. we believe that everyone should have at least three meals a day, therefore, our staff, participants, and volunteers help to distribute food to those community members in need.
Great Gift Givers
The Great Gift Givers program was created to help those in need feel special on birthdays and holidays. Many of our community members do not have a caring relationship with their immediate family or support from their loved ones. Love Dove’s NEST thrives off of our community knowing that we acknowledge them and care about their mental and emotional needs. Gifts are items that warm the heart and are given on various occasions. We at Love Dove’s N.E.S.T. pride ourselves on being Great Gift Givers and love giving gifts to our community family.
