Nido de Esperanza

Last Wednesday, March 5, the External Affairs team spent the morning volunteering at one of our community partner sites, Nido de Esperanza, in Washington Heights. We had a fantastic time sorting baby clothes for their Baby Boutique, which provides essential clothing and supplies for little ones in their earliest stages of life. We also got a tour of the space and had the chance to connect with our wonderful WSCAH Board Member Ramona Nivar, who works at Nido as the Donations & Distribution Coordinator. El Nido supports expecting mothers, babies, and families through critical services like parenting groups, family workshops, social work support, and their Baby Boutique, which provides essential supplies for infants. WSCAH has proudly partnered with El Nido de Esperanza since April 2020, collaborating to provide fresh, healthy food through our food pantry services. We are grateful for the opportunity to support their inspiring work and look forward to continuing our partnership to strengthen our community together.
