City Tech Food Pantry

Who We Are

The N.E.S.T. Resource center is a college-based organization that works to combat food insecurity for the City Tech community and their families. Our funding is provided through student activity funds, individual donations, and grants from various community agencies and/or organizations whose focus is to support student success and wellness.

At the N.E.S.T., we recognize that to thrive academically, students must be as free of concern as possible, in order to focus on their educational endeavors. It is for this reason that we have adopted a holistic approach to servicing student needs.

Food Security
