UCLA Health honors its very special nurses each year with a special week to recognize the incredible service that they provide each day. The Robert Nelson Foundation gave a recent gift of $2,500 to assist with this recognition. Thank you, UCLA Health nurses, for the incredible difference you make in people’s lives. The Robert Nelson Foundation is proud to partner with such a wonderful and dedicated group of professionals.
The LA Mission was one of the organizations that was close to Mr. Nelson’s heart and a source of his giving while he was alive. The foundation has chosen to continue that legacy of giving and recently presented a $10,000.00 gift to the LA Mission for their “Adopt a Meal” program. Thank you to the wonderful people at the LA Mission for the difference they are making every day. The Robert Nelson Foundation is honored to assist in your ministry of helping those who need it most.
