Community partners including Judy Ramos from Infinite Promises Healing Center, Tom Talbot from First Citizen’s  Federal Credit Union, and former President of the NBEA Lou St. John through his connection as a volunteer with Jim Steven’s Gifts to Give contributed their time and talents in procuring clothing and financial backing to make this event possible.

NBEA members, nurses Wanda Nunes and Donna Calderbank spent their own, precious time buying  items for students in need and organizing today’s event..  Nurses from throughout the system will be making the pilgrimage to Keith today to acquire necessary items to help those in need at their buildings.

If a member knows of a student in need…clothing, hygiene supplies, etc.  please contact your building’s nurse to see what can be done to help.  To date this year, the NBEA has provided $4808.22 to fund this effort.
