Sarah Ochoa-Diaz had the opportunity to meet with Kelly Maxwell, CEO and Executive Director of Baby’s Bounty, a nonprofit organization that supports families across Nevada by providing essential baby supplies. Kelly shared how her background in the hospitality industry has shaped her leadership and helped her bring those skills into the nonprofit space. During her visit, Sarah toured Baby’s Bounty’s operations, where she learned about their parent education classes, the Diapers for Diplomas program that assists students with young children, and their weekly diaper drives that serve families in need. This experience helped Sarah see how hospitality plays a vital role in shaping and strengthening the Las Vegas community. #Lasvegasnonprofits #Mentorship #Hospitality #HCF
