The Nest Impact

The Nest

What is the NEST?

The overall mission of the NEST is to strive to combat hunger among Fairmont State students and promote a vibrant and inclusive community through access to food, clothing, and hygiene products as well as supportive programs.

The NEST is a non-profit and depends on donation support to provide services for our students.
