Never Stop Grinding Impact (NSG Impact), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2020 in Rialto, says it has provided an estimated $1.4M in free goods and services to families this year. According to NSG Impact that total includes more than 480,000 pounds of food, nearly 500,000 diapers, more than 5,000 toys, free dental and vision care, holiday giveaways, and after school programs in three school districts.

Behind that $1.4 million is work that never stops: food in family cars every month, trusted mentors in after school classrooms every week, and a new program helping high school students get ready for their first jobs.

None of this is a one time event. NSG Impact serves its community on a weekly basis. The big events change with the seasons, back to school supplies in the fall, turkeys in November, toys in December, and free dental and vision care in January.

Each month, NSG Impact runs free food distributions. At Fergusson Park, 2474 W. Casa Grande Dr., in Rialto, families drive through on the third Thursday of the month, from 10 AM to 1 PM, for food and fresh produce, with diapers available the same day for families with young children. The next distribution is Thursday, November 19. NSG Impact also runs a second free food distribution on the first Tuesday of the month at the PAL Center, 2450 Blake St. in San Bernardino, from 12:00 to 2:00 PM.

After school, NSG Impact runs its Self-Regulation and Leadership Non-Contact Boxing Program in three districts: Rialto Unified School District, Cucamonga School District, and San Bernardino City Unified School District. The program was created by Darious Harris, a retired professional boxer and Rialto native, and Tameka Grayson, the organization’s Chief Operating Officer, who brings a background in social emotional learning.

Students meet after school, once a week for eight weeks. They learn first, then they box. Lessons cover how to calm down under pressure, make strong choices, speak up for others, stick with hard work, and belong in a group. Then students put those lessons to work with real boxing training, including footwork, pad work, and heavy bag work. No student is hit, and there is no sparring.

Its new Youth Workforce Readiness and Career Planning Program runs during the school day. NSG Impact has just launched it at PAL Charter Academy at the PAL Center in San Bernardino. In the six week program, high school students build a real resume and cover letter, practice how to introduce themselves and interview, learn workplace skills and first paycheck basics, and sit for live mock interviews with local employers. Students who finish the full program earn a certificate, leave with a professional resume and career portfolio, and receive a $100 completion incentive at a celebration after the six weeks.

“Our students should leave with more than advice,” said Tameka Grayson, Chief Operating Officer of NSG Impact. “They leave with a resume in hand, a portfolio they built, and real interview practice with real employers. That is a head start, and we want to bring it to more schools.”

NSG Impact’s holiday giveaways are coming up fast. Its Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway is Wednesday, November 18, and its annual Christmas Toy Giveaway is Wednesday, December 23, both from 10 AM to 2 PM at 290 West Rialto Ave. in Rialto.

NSG Impact has also brought free dental and vision clinics to the Rialto area since 2021, with the next clinic set for Saturday, January 30, 2027, at the Carl Johnson Community Center.

“We started this work in Rialto because this is home,” said Harris. “A family should not have to choose between food on the table and support for their kids. We bring both. We feed families, we show up for their children after school, and during the school day our workforce program helps older students get ready for work.”
