On Monday, February 8th, The Nassau County Chamber of Commerce awarded Barnabas Center the Nonprofit Business of the Year. Wanda Lanier, President and CEO and Renee Stoffel, Community Outreach Manager of Barnabas accepted the award on behalf of Barnabas Center.
The chamber awards highlight individuals and businesses who work hard to provide important services to the Nassau County community. Barnabas appreciates those who continually support its ongoing mission, especially throughout the coronavirus crisis.
Maureen Paschke, Barnabas board member, nominated Barnabas Center for the nonprofit of the year award.
“Barnabas has been and continues to be a lifeline for vulnerable Nassau residents.” Said Maureen. “As people struggle to maintain their quality of life during this unanticipated and extraordinary national crisis, Barnabas is keeping them afloat as they navigate income loss, health concerns, food insecurity and economic strife.
Barnabas Center is Nassau County’s only comprehensive service organization that addresses critical issues in our community. Affordable health care, hunger and homeless prevention for individuals and families in need are among the many programs offered. Barnabas programs collectively address the short- and long-term needs of individuals and families in crisis so they can become healthy, productive citizens, thereby strengthening the entire community.
