History

After the millennium, Steve Zelkoski, had a dream of helping those in the community. He spoke with his friends about forming a non-profit organization to help residents of Howard County and Maryland in need of assistance. The dream became a reality when they formed Ravens Nest 13. Since inception, Nest 13 has funded over $27,000 of projects for their neighbors in need. Nest 13 has been dedicated in supporting the Salvation Army, Domestic Violence Center, Kernans Hospital, Kennedy Kreiger, Hopkins Pediatric ICU and St. Agnes Hospital. Every year, Nest 13 has made sure there are toys under the Christmas tree, the book bags are full for children to return to school, and families have dinners for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. Nest 13 also gave a family a final vacation with a family member who later succumbed to cancer, and paid for part of the funeral expenses of another fellow Howard County resident. Each year, Nest 13 continues to fulfill its motto of "Neighbors helping Neighbors."
