Willard Community Center was grateful to welcome Michelle from Nelnet as a volunteer during Nelnet’s All In Week!

Michelle spent her volunteer time helping prepare fresh baby food for the infants in our Early Explorers Early Childhood Program. Together, we prepared a variety of foods and combinations, including banana and pumpkin, banana and peanut butter, steamed squash, green beans, berry blends, squash and pumpkin, steamed sweet potatoes, and steamed carrots.

Providing our infants with a variety of fruits, vegetables, flavors, and textures gives them opportunities to explore new foods and helps encourage healthy eating habits from an early age.

We are thankful to Michelle for sharing her time with Willard and helping us stock up on nutritious options for some of our youngest community members. We also appreciate Nelnet’s All In Week for encouraging employees to give back to organizations throughout our community!
