“We are always forever grateful for you, our donors.”
– Margarita Mendez, Executive Director

A new year always brings promises of new growth, new opportunities and new achievements. This is no different for the women and children who come to Nellie’s. After experiencing abuse and trauma, many women first come to us seeking nothing but shelter. And it is through Nellie’s that they learn, gain support, find friends and build the confidence they need to successfully accomplish the next chapter in their lives.

And they are able to do all of this because of your support.

We are forever grateful for the generosity of our donors near and far. It’s because of you that we can provide the day-to-day necessities of life as well as the outreach programs and services that are designed to foster learning and support. You have always ensured that we are able to tailor our responses to meet the needs of the women and children living at Nellie’s, as well as those using the programs and services at our community support and outreach site.

We bring together women from all walks of life; women who may never have had the opportunity to meet but who are now meaningfully connecting with each other as they learn to support each other. As we at Nellie’s look towards our 50th anniversary in 2023, we will continue to take the much-needed courageous steps to help women and their children experiencing abuse and trauma overcome the multitude of barriers they face.

I am confident that the persistent diligence and enthusiasm of our Board of Directors, the ongoing dedication and hard work of our talented staff and the support of our generous donors will ensure that we will continue to rise to every challenge in the coming year.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.
