Last week, NHF hosted our first two Care First Community Investment FREE Produce Distribution events ~ the FAIR program! In times like these when communities are facing increased food insecurity, certain communities like those involved in the justice system face even more barriers. We’re happy to be able to fill in this gap with our services and partners.

Join us in welcoming La'Shawnda Cater as NHF's new Director of Nursing! Let's hear from La'Shawnda about why she joined NHF...

"Hi everyone! My name is La'Shawnda Cater, and I am pleased to join a mission-driven team that's committed to improving the health of individuals and under-resourced communities.

I am a proud two-time graduate of the University of Alabama at Huntsville, where I earned both my BSN and MSN degrees. My passion has always been serving the most vulnerable in our community, and I am honored to bring that focus to NHF!

When I’m not at the NHF’s recuperative sites, I love spending my free time taking care of my plants, spending time with my family and loved ones, and  attending live music concerts. 🪴🎶 I am so excited to begin this journey!"
