Nerissa

Nerissa is a single mom who runs a daycare business. She comes to the food center to stretch her food budget to feed her children and grandchildren. The food center also helped her obtain legal support to challenge an unfair eviction and secure rent assistance.

“Being here means to be among the community. To be among love. Generosity. Respect for all. And food! I love our gardens! We grow our own food here. If it wasn’t for the Kinship Community Food Center…I just don’t know.”
