Hi First_Name,

Welcome to the N.E.S.T Newsletter!

At the N.E.S.T Resource Center (Nutrition for Education & Student Achievement), we believe that when students have access to nourshing food, supportive resources, and a welcoming community, they thrive - both in and out of the classroom. 

Each month, we'll share updates, pantry hours, tips, and opportunities to get involved, along with a look at what's new on our shelves and in our community wardrobe. Whether you're stopping by for fresh produce, a quick snack between classes, or just a friendly hello, The NEST is here for you.

GreenMarket Bucks

City Tech students may recieve $20 in free GreenMarket Bucks to use at the Brooklyn Borough Hall Greenmarket just 2 minutes away from campus, or any GreenMarket location across NYC. See all of their 50+ locations and availability here. 
Use these GreenMarket Bucks to stock up on fresh fruits, vegetables, bread, dairy, and more from local farmers. 

Claim your $20 voucher once per semester, while supplies last, at the N.E.S.T Resource Center (G414) during our operating hours.

Healthy, local, and free - don't miss out!
