The NestEggg Group, LLC, a Palm Springs-based firm providing a variety of accounting & bookkeeping, financial and insurance services, has pledged $100,000 to The LGBT Community Center of the Desert (The Center). This four-year investment will help provide partial funding for the NestEggg Food Bank at The Center, which operates out of a satellite location at 610 S. Belardo Road in Palm Springs.
These strategic and much needed funds will support day-to-day operating expenses to help offset the cost of food, staff, and overhead. This year, more than 12,000 clients have received a week’s supply of groceries through the Center’s “Sustenance for Seniors Program,” and this gift will ensure that the neediest members will continue to have access to at least one bag of food per week to keep them healthy.
The newly named “ NestEggg Food Bank at the Center” has been providing groceries, baked goods, meat, and fresh produce to low-income Riverside County residents 55 years of age or older, and individuals who receive disability benefits, regardless of their age, since 2008. Proof of residency in Riverside County is required, and all are welcome if they meet these basic requirements. The Program is limited to serving 275 people a week, and is currently at capacity. No hot meals, prepared foods, or vouchers are currently distributed through the program.
