Nationalities Service Center, NSC

As Summer approaches and temperatures rise, many NSC clients face the heat without access to central air conditioning in their homes. A simple box fan can make a meaningful difference, helping to keep their living spaces cooler, safer, and more comfortable during the hottest months of the year.

Please consider helping our clients beat the heat with the purchase of a box fan through our Amazon wishlist or by making a direct donation to our Transforming Welcome Fund!
