About Us

What is Nehi Cares?

Nehi Cares is a minority, woman, and veteran-owned business named in honor of a remarkable woman – my grandmother, Juanita, also known as Nehi (pronounced 'Knee High'). She was a caring and loving individual who was always willing to help anyone in need. Her influence shaped me into the caring and compassionate person I am today. I named my company Nehi Cares – to honor her memory and continue her legacy of kindness and compassion.
