What is at The Nest?
Patient Support– We have many ways to offer support anyone currently in the cancer treatment phase of their diagnosis.
- Birdie Box pickup or Build your own - Our signature Birdie Boxes are ready for you (or your loved one/friend) to pick up. We have them complete, or they can be built from scratch for the ultimate BFF gift. We also have extra special items from local vendors that can be added to the Birdie Box at an additional cost.
- Spoonful of Comfort Meal Kit Pickup- Paloma (our pick freezer) is ready for you to come and grab a frozen meal kit for you or (or your loved one/friend) to pick up. We also have our signature Cake Kits that can be added to any meal kit at no extra charge.
- The Flock- This is our peer to peer support system
Caregiver Support- We have many ways to offer support anyone that is or has been a cancer patient caregiver at any time.
- Meetups/Meetings- This Experience will include a Birdie Basket (custom gift basket), music, confetti, photo shoot, and so much more. We can bring a Celebration to a home, parking lot, etc.
- The Flock- This is our peer to peer support system currently in the building out phase.
- Resources- We are creating a list of caregiver resources
General Support
- Education- Each month we will be hosting specific cancer activities based on what the cancer awareness month it is for that month.
- Nonprofit Support- We will partner with other local and national nonprofits to raise awareness of their missions. This could be through specific cancer awareness month activities, through educational support, or even through the use of The Nest community space.
- Head Shaving Parties- Would you love to use The Nest to invite your favorite people, and shave your head if you are losing your hair due to cancer treatments? Let's throw you the ultimate party, and we can also supply the hair stylist if you need one.
- Healthy living and Wellness- Have you wanted to attend a plant class, or even one on meditation and sound bowls? We hope to host different activities each month to promote healthy living and wellness.
