Gift Giving Program
Nationalities Service Center (NSC) is entering our 2nd year partnering with the Drexel Women’s Health Center. Dr. Sandra Wolf has been an incredible ally. This partnership was formed in thanks to Mimi Collins who volunteers at NSC each week. With NSC serving as patient navigators and guides, many refugee women have been able to access culturally appropriate care. Each year, this practice collects money to support one of their fellow team members who is in need (i.e. staff member who suffered a tragedy). This year, they had no staff member to give the money to so they decided to use the money to provide gifts and goods to two families that receive services from NSC. NSC staff worked to nominate two families and a few weeks before the holidays the gifts were distributed. The families were so taken aback and we had to arrange for two vans to help transport the families and their goods home.
