The Morton House has been home to The Nest’s mission for decades. Now, we’re transforming it to better serve the families who walk through our doors. 🏠💜

The Nest Family Center is being thoughtfully reimagined as a trauma-informed space with greater privacy, safety, accessibility, and room to serve our community more effectively.

This is more than a renovation. It’s an investment in a place where families can find help, healing, and hope for generations to come.

Thanks to the generosity of the James A. and Martha R. Brown Foundation, every gift made to this project will be matched 1:1 (up to $325,000), doubling the impact of every dollar you give.
