Last week, an amazing group of volunteers from Nielsen joined us at Father Gene’s Help Center. Our mission thrives because of dedicated staff and volunteers who show up every day to support our clients.

Nielsen jumped right in, sorting an abundance of clothing, and even treated our team to delicious grilled Mexican food.
From all of us at Father Gene’s, a HUGE thank you to the Nielsen Team!
