DALLAS, Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- NEST, a leading integrated facilities management company that manages more than 59,000 retail locations, announced they are donating funds to charities across North America. The beneficiaries will be selected by NEST's clients to support important causes.

Based in the Dallas suburb of Coppell, Texas, The Container Store, specialty retailer of storage and organizing products, selected their Employee First Fund to receive a share of the donation. Through their "NEST Nurtures" philanthropic program, NEST is committing over $70,000 to charities and causes in 2020.

"During this unprecedented time in our nation, we want to work with our partners to give back to their communities and support important causes," said NEST CEO, Rob Almond. "The Container Store's Employee First Fund is a great initiative that helps their employees who are experiencing difficult times."

Since mid-March, NEST has been focused on reopening stores that were closed due to the pandemic and implementing new innovative strategies in the areas of janitorial, HVAC, curb-side pickup and operational procedures in response to COVID-19.

NEST Nurtures focuses on supporting nonprofits and improving communities while expanding on the company's philanthropic endeavors that NEST has fulfilled for over 25 years.
