🥳🥳Our Outreach Team is proud to announce the creation of The Nook!🥳🥳
The Nook is a new neighborhood resource providing essential hygiene and household supplies to our Eastside neighbors at no cost. The Nook opens for neighbors on the last Thursday of each month from 3pm -6pm, starting TOMORROW (3/26) while supplies last.
