NES employees donate over 3,300 food items to Second Harvest on Thankful Thursday

With the holidays just around the corner, people will need warm meals to eat on Thanksgiving, but everyone won’t have access to a hot meal. To help meet that need, NES employees gathered to donate nearly 3,500 food items to Second Harvest Food Bank for families and individuals in need. Employees enjoyed music and fellowshipped while sharing what they are thankful for.
