The Red Mile Homemakers decorated and filled 40 bags with hygiene essentials for The Nest at our meeting. We never cease to be amazed at this group's generosity, creativity and desire to do good for our community. The nest is an organization whose mission is to prevent abuse and neglect of children and adults by supporting families in crises.
