Empowering Students with a Generous Gift

How the Donation Will Make a Difference

The donation from the Nagaraj family is truly remarkable. It will provide a stable source of funds that will ensure The Nest can continue to serve students in need. By purchasing bulk food items, the pantry will be able to offer a greater variety of food options to students. This will not only help to alleviate food insecurity but also improve the overall well-being of students.

Moreover, the establishment of the endowment is a testament to the Nagarajs' dedication to Wake Tech and its students. Their kindness and generosity will have a lasting impact on the lives of many students, helping them to stay focused on their educational and career goals. The Nest is an integral part of Wake Tech's Care Center, which provides a wide range of guidance and resources to students. With the additional support from the endowment, the Care Center will be able to offer even more assistance to students.

The Importance of The Nest at Wake Tech

The Nest plays a vital role in alleviating food insecurity at Wake Tech. It offers free, accessible food pantries across the college, providing students with monthly shopping opportunities. In addition to food, The Nest also offers nutrition education and connections to community-based resources. This holistic approach helps students to not only address their immediate food needs but also gain the knowledge and support they need to make healthy choices and succeed in their studies.

Online and in-person ordering options allow students to build custom orders based on their personal preferences and dietary needs. This level of flexibility ensures that every student can access the food they need. On average, The Nest serves about 1,000 students each year, demonstrating the significant need for such a service at the college. The support from the Nagaraj Family Nest Endowment will help to expand and enhance the services offered by The Nest, making it an even more valuable resource for students.
