Nurture has been an uplifting & inspirational partner of both the Blaine County Hunger Coalition’s staff team and, more importantly, our clients. Through thoughtful, detailed correspondence, a generous slow cooker donation, professional advice, and curriculum sharing, Nurture has bridged the gap with our organizations and provided progressive programming & evaluative techniques that greatly enhance the everyday functions of our organization & educational opportunities. By partnering with our small Idaho community food bank, Nurture has touched the lives of many. We thank you Nurture! - The Hunger Coalition, Bellevue, ID |

Nurture is an excellent resource for our Y members and guests. As CEO of the Wood River YMCA, I see many different kinds of families coming in to use our facilities. While many are active, health-conscious families, there is a tremendous need to reach out to other families who struggle with obesity and overall wellness. We take pride in the many programs we can offer to families with limited resources, and are thrilled to include Nurture in these efforts. They have provided several nutrition education opportunities in the past six months; ranging from slow cooker techniques to kitchen organization skills. Feedback has been incredibly positive, and members are asking details of upcoming Nurture classes. They have created quite a buzz in the community that I can only imagine will grow as their programming outreach is able to grow. I look forward to continuing our relationship with Nurture to help serve all families of the Wood River Valley. - The Wood River Community YMCA, Ketchum, ID |
