NMC Clients Helping
During the COVID-19 Crisis

We hope everyone is staying safe and doing as well as they can in these very weird and trying times.  We wanted to take a minute to highlight a handful of our nonprofit clients who have been working extraordinarily hard during the COVID-19 pandemic. We're grateful for the work they are doing and wanted to take the opportunity to share that work with all of you. Please read through all of the great work that's being done, and if you're inclined and able, support them!  We’re proud to be able to partner with these groups.
