NHSSN partners with over 30+ local nonprofit organizations and municipalities in reaching out to the community through a number of outreach events. These events allow NHSSN to spread the word about its programs, as well as build personal relationships with the community.
Staff members rely on five committees — real estate, finance, community building and engagement, lending and resource development — to do the work of the agency.
We have a special event each year in early November and need many volunteers for a successful effort: Scouting for Food is our largest food drive. You can volunteer to help us process the donations that day.
We are so appreciative of the community’s desire to support us in our mission. If we can’t use you as a volunteer, you are always welcome to hold food drives for us, but we ask that you contact first us so we can provide guidance about our greatest needs.
Volunteers make markets happen!
