# nest4us.org ## Posts - [Reflections from the Norman E. Borlaug Dialogue Mainstage in Des Moines, Iowa](https://nest4us.org/conferences-and-summits/reflections-from-the-norman-e-borlaug-dialogue-mainstage-in-des-moines-iowa/): Food has always been more than what’s on our plates. Behind every meal is a story—of families navigating hunger with resilience, of friends quietly sacrificing culture and tradition to make ends meet, of neighbors carrying the daily uncertainty of where their next meal will come from. Our food systems don’t just feed communities; they reveal who we choose to nourish—and who we leave behind. This truth was at the heart of the 2025 Norman E. Borlaug International Dialogue, hosted by the World Food Prize Foundation, where I had the honor of speaking on the mainstage as part of the panel […] - [Winter Magic: Bringing Toys & Joy to Kids in Need at our Holiday Special Toy Distribution](https://nest4us.org/programs/nest-buddies/winter-magic-bringing-toys-joy-to-kids-in-need-at-our-holiday-special-toy-distribution/): This holiday season, NEST4US witnessed something truly magical—what happens when a community shows up with open hearts, helping hands, and a shared commitment to joy. Our Holiday Toy Distribution was created with one simple goal: to ensure that every child in our community could experience the warmth, excitement, and dignity of receiving a holiday gift. What happened next exceeded every expectation we had. When registration opened, the response was immediate and overwhelming. Within the first 24 hours, more than 500 families signed up to receive a toy, clearly demonstrating both the level of need in our community and the trust […] - [Looking Back on 2025: Our Year in Review](https://nest4us.org/founders-journey/looking-back-on-2025-our-year-in-review/): As we turn the page on 2025, it is hard not to pause and take a deep breath. The year seemed to move quickly, yet it was filled with moments that asked us to slow down, show up, and lean into the power of community. At NEST4US, 2025 was a year defined by service rooted in compassion and by people who chose, again and again, to care. NEST4US was founded on a simple but powerful belief: when people from all walks of life come together with kindness at the center, real change becomes possible. This year, that belief was not […] - [Redefining Nonprofit Impact: Why Collaboration Beats Competition at NEST4US](https://nest4us.org/founders-journey/redefining-nonprofit-impact-why-collaboration-beats-competition-at-nest4us/): In the nonprofit space, it’s easy to fall into the mindset of competition— competing for grants, visibility, or volunteers. But at NEST4US, we believe collaboration, not competition, is the true catalyst for sustainable systems-level impact.  When organizations, leaders, and communities align around shared goals, the result is far greater than what any one group could achieve alone. By unlocking collective capacity, impact grows exponentially rather than incrementally.  From day one, NEST4US has intentionally centered its model on mutually beneficial partnerships that bridge sectors and amplify collective strengths. Whether partnering with local food banks to expand food rescue networks, working with […] - [Youth Driving Global Sustainable Development: Our Experience at the World Bank Group Youth Summit](https://nest4us.org/conferences-and-summits/youth-driving-global-sustainable-development-our-experience-at-the-world-bank-group-youth-summit/): 📊 Key Insights from the World Bank Group Youth Summit Walking into the World Bank headquarters in Washington, D.C., for their annual Youth Summit, we felt both humbled and energized. As founders of NEST4US, we were honored to join hundreds of young leaders, innovators, and changemakers (some old and new friends!) from across the globe to explore how youth can shape global sustainable development. The sessions were eye-opening. We engaged directly with multilateral leaders and specialists who emphasized that development cannot be imposed from the outside. One panelist said, “Systems designed for communities without them will always fall short.” That […] - [“You’re Worth It”: Shreyaa’s Journey as One of the Youngest L’Oréal Paris Women of Worth in History](https://nest4us.org/awards-and-media/youre-worth-it-shreyaas-journey-as-one-of-the-youngest-loreal-paris-women-of-worth-in-history/): At 17, most teens are navigating high school, planning for the future, and discovering who they are.  Well, at 17, I stepped onto a stage in New York City to speak to some of the most powerful women in the country, who had come not just to celebrate us, but to truly listen to the stories of me and my fellow honorees. And somewhere between their applause, the bright lights, and the buzzing energy of the room, the words “You’re worth it” finally sank in. Moments later, I found myself in conversation with women I had admired for years: Camila […] - [Breaking Barriers: Challenges We’ve Faced as Young Women of Color in Leadership](https://nest4us.org/founders-journey/breaking-barriers-challenges-weve-faced-as-young-women-of-color-in-leadership/): When people see the milestones we’ve reached with NEST4US, they often assume the path has been smooth. But behind every achievement are challenges we’ve had to confront head-on—challenges shaped by age, gender, and race. As young women of color, we have often been underestimated in professional spaces. We’ve been told we were “too young” to lead, questioned about our ability to manage large-scale programs, and even dismissed in rooms where our male peers were taken seriously. Sometimes the assumptions were unspoken, but heavy—people glancing past us in meetings, or addressing questions to older colleagues instead of us. Reflecting on these […] - [Gathering at the Table: How One Thanksgiving Feeding Event Turned Into an Annual Tradition!](https://nest4us.org/programs/nest-nurtures/gathering-at-the-table-how-one-thanksgiving-feeding-event-turned-into-an-annual-tradition/): For nearly a decade, our Thanksgiving Feast for the Homeless at the Georgetown Ministry Center (GMC) has been one of NEST4US’s most cherished traditions—a day where gratitude transforms into action, and service becomes solidarity. What began as a small community meal has grown into a collective movement of compassion, grounded in the belief that every person deserves dignity, belonging, and care. Each year, our team comes together to serve a festive meal and distribute essential items—blankets, toiletries, and warm clothing—to our unhoused neighbors across Washington, D.C. Yet, this initiative extends beyond providing resources. At its core, the feast represents our […] - [“superpower”: A Poem From Our Co-Founder on Unity and Hope](https://nest4us.org/esha-venkat/superpower-a-poem-from-our-co-founder-on-unity-and-hope/): In this moment of profound global transition—marked by political polarization, humanitarian crises, widening inequality, and a deep sense of social fragmentation—the need for unity and compassionate leadership has never been more urgent. Communities across the world are confronting hardship, uncertainty, and division, yet they are also demonstrating extraordinary resilience and a renewed commitment to collective action. At NEST4US, we believe that real change begins when individuals choose hope over fear and solidarity over silence. To speak to this pivotal moment, our COO, Esha Venkat, penned “superpower,” a poem that reflects both the weight of today’s challenges and the extraordinary potential […] - [Policy as a Catalyst for Food Justice: Key Takeaways from the 1st Annual Food and Agriculture Policy Summit](https://nest4us.org/conferences-and-summits/policy-as-a-catalyst-for-food-justice-key-takeaways-from-the-1st-annual-food-and-agriculture-policy-summit/): I’m grateful for the opportunity to attend the 1st Annual Food and Agriculture Policy Summit hosted by Food Tank, George Washington University’s Global Food Institute, and the Culinary Institute of America—a critical convening at a pivotal moment for American food systems. I left the summit feeling both inspired and frustrated—because we KNOW what needs to be done. However, the knowledge-action gap persists not from lack of information, but from deep-rooted political inertia and lack of willpower. Here’s what I’m still thinking about: Food is a powerful lever for change—but only if we’re willing to pull it. Chef José Andrés compared […] - [Our Signature “NEST4US Service Extravaganza” Events Over the Years](https://nest4us.org/events-campaigns/our-signature-nest4us-service-extravaganza-events-over-the-years/): Each year, our NEST4US Service Extravaganza brings together hundreds of volunteers, partners, and community members for one powerful day of giving. It is one of our signature annual traditions—a celebration of compassion, collaboration, and collective impact. The Service Extravaganza is unlike any other volunteer event. It’s a hands-on experience that allows participants to explore every NEST4US service project in a single day!  From Notes of Kindness Rice Up Against Hunger, Goodies4Good, and Blessing Bag Project to Sandwich Assembly Project, LittleHands4Hope, Gratitude Bags, and Mealtime Inspiration Kits, volunteers of all ages come together to pack essential items that nourish both body […] - [Nurturing Young Minds in Tanzania: A Morning of Learning and Joy](https://nest4us.org/programs/nurturing-young-minds-in-tanzania-a-morning-of-learning-and-joy/): 📊 Did You Know? At NEST4US, we have always believed that education goes beyond textbooks. It is about sparking curiosity, nurturing creativity, and encouraging critical thinking. As I reflected on the day, a recurring thought flashed through my mind: passion for learning knows no boundaries. What children need most is the chance to be seen, supported, and empowered.  This visit was a powerful reminder that no act of kindness is too small. Whether it is teaching a child to count, reading a story, or simply sharing time, these small actions can leave lasting impacts. As I left the school, I […] - [Spreading Kindness, Not the Virus: How We United Communities Amid The COVID-19 Crisis](https://nest4us.org/founders-journey/spreading-kindness-not-the-virus-how-we-united-communities-amid-the-covid-19-crisis/): When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, the world seemed to pause—but at NEST4US, our mission to serve never did. While safety concerns and lockdowns changed how we operated, they never changed why we do what we do. Rather than slowing down, we leaned into innovation, resilience, and community. Suddenly, traditional service projects became impossible. Food rescues, tutoring sessions, and volunteer gatherings had to be reimagined. Yet instead of viewing these challenges as setbacks, we saw them as opportunities to adapt and grow. The question guiding us was simple: “How can we keep giving, safely?” From that question came some of our […] - [The Climate–Hunger Connection: Why Reducing Food Waste Helps the Planet](https://nest4us.org/social-impact-and-kindness/the-climate-hunger-connection-why-reducing-food-waste-helps-the-planet/): We live in a world where there’s more than enough food to feed everyone—1.5 times the amount needed, in fact. Yet, over 1.3 billion tons, or a third of all food produced, is wasted annually.  This waste fuels more than half of food system emissions and approximately 8% of total global greenhouse gases.  So that begs the question… “How can food insecurity still exist when safe, edible food is being discarded on such a massive scale?” This difficult truth is the heartbreaking reality for hundreds of millions of people across the globe. However, at NEST4US, we believe that no one should […] - [CSW67 and Beyond: Gender Equity as a Human and Intersectional Imperative ](https://nest4us.org/shreyaa-venkat/csw67-and-beyond-gender-equity-as-a-human-and-intersectional-imperative/): 📊 Did You Know? It was truly an honor to take part in the 67th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW67), an experience that opened my eyes to the profound intersection between two equally pressing global challenges—climate change and gender equality. Walking into each session, I could feel the buzzing energy of collaboration and urgency in the air.  Throughout the commission, every conversation and idea shared highlighted one central message: to solve the complex crises our world faces, gender equality must be at the heart of every solution. I listened to leaders, advocates, and innovators discuss the importance of […] - [Sisterhood in Action: What It’s Really Like Running NEST4US Together ](https://nest4us.org/founders-journey/sisterhood-in-action-what-its-really-like-running-nest4us-together/): What happens when two sisters decide to take on the world’s biggest challenges—armed with nothing but a shared vision, a lot of energy, and (let’s be honest) a few heated debates along the way? You get NEST4US. Running a nonprofit as sisters is kind of like running a three-legged race every single day: awkward at first, occasionally chaotic, but ultimately unstoppable once you figure out how to move in sync. When people ask us, “So…how do you do it?”, we usually laugh, because the truth is, we don’t always get it perfect. But what makes this work is the mix […] - [Inspiring Changemakers: My Experience at the Giving Tuesday U.S. Community Leaders Gathering](https://nest4us.org/conferences-and-summits/inspiring-changemakers-my-experience-at-the-giving-tuesday-u-s-community-leaders-gathering/): 📊 Did You Know? Giving Tuesday is often described as the global day of giving, but in reality, it is so much more than a date on the calendar. It is a movement that unites people, organizations, and communities around the idea that generosity has the power to transform the world. This year, I was honored to represent NEST4US at the Giving Tuesday US Community Leaders Gathering in New Orleans. From the moment I arrived, I felt the energy of changemakers ready to learn, collaborate, and take bold action. The sessions offered both inspiration and practical strategies. I remember thinking […] - [Lighting the Way Forward: Receiving Points of Light’s Highest Honor](https://nest4us.org/awards-and-media/lighting-the-way-forward-receiving-points-of-lights-highest-honor/): 📊 Did You Know? In 2020, we were honored to receive the George H.W. Bush Points of Light Award, the highest honor presented by Points of Light. This award honors individuals who have demonstrated the transformative power of service to drive significant and sustained impact in their communities and beyond. For us, this recognition is more than an award—it is a profound reminder that you are never too young to change the world. Thank you to the event’s co-chairs—Barbara Bush, Craig Coyne, Jenna Bush Hager, Henry Hager, and Wendy Stapleton—for your leadership and commitment to carrying forward this tradition of […] - [Why “People-Powered Impact” Isn’t Just a Slogan](https://nest4us.org/founders-journey/why-people-powered-impact-isnt-just-a-slogan/): People helping people. When we first started NEST4US, we never imagined how far this simple idea could go. But over the years, we’ve seen it grow into a movement that fuels everything we do. You’ll often hear us say “people-powered impact”—but to us, that phrase is more than just a slogan. It’s the heartbeat of NEST4US. At its core, NEST4US isn’t about us—it’s about us together. From volunteers who wake up at the crack of dawn to rescue surplus food, to families who help assemble blessing bags for our neighbors in need, to community partners who go out of their […] - [Remembering 9/11 Through Service & Solidarity ](https://nest4us.org/events-campaigns/remembering-9-11-through-service-solidarity/): 📊 Did You Know? In the decades since 9/11, one of the most powerful ways we’ve chosen to honor those we lost is through service—turning remembrance into impact and pain into purpose. The 9/11 Day of Service has united millions of Americans in acts of kindness, demonstrating that even in our most difficult moments, community remains our greatest strength. At NEST4US, 9/11 Day of Service holds deep meaning, as we have commemorated this day each year by engaging volunteers of all ages in service projects that uplift our neighbors in need. We’ve loved joining hands with amazing partners, volunteers, and […] - [Bridging Policy and Action: Our Experience at the 2023 World Food Forum Flagship Event](https://nest4us.org/shreyaa-venkat/bridging-policy-and-action-our-experience-at-the-2023-world-food-forum-flagship-event/): 📊 Did You Know? These statistics highlight a growing epidemic, one that urgently calls for innovative solutions in how we think about school nutrition, food systems reform, and their role in advancing progress on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, particularly SDG 2: Zero Hunger.  In October 2023, we had the privilege of representing NEST4US on the global stage during the World Food Forum (WFF) Flagship Event at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Headquarters in Rome, Italy—a gathering of changemakers from across the world, united under one vision: transforming agrifood systems to be healthier, more […] - [Welcome to "Inside the NEST"…Our New Blog Series!](https://nest4us.org/shreyaa-venkat/welcome-to-inside-the-nest-our-new-blog-series/): When we first started NEST4US, we never imagined how far a simple idea could grow.  What began as a small project rooted in kindness has since blossomed into a global movement powered by youth and community members who believe in the power of service. As founders, our journey has been shaped by countless moments of compassion, resilience, and unity—all of which we’re excited to share with you here on our blog page, Inside the NEST ! So, why launch this space? Because stories matter. Every act of service, big or small, creates a ripple effect.
