Lauren Nunnery champions the cause of helping children who have been abused. An insurance agent for the Louisiana Farm Bureau, she has been an avid supporter of the Gingerbread House Children’s Advocacy Center for the past six years, and particularly since 2021, having assisted with almost every event the organization has hosted. The Board of Directors elected Lauren last January to help lead the Gingerbread House as Vice President. “Her kind and genuine words are always uplifting,” said one staff member. Another noted that Lauren loves surprising the staff with treats on particularly tough days. She is especially dedicated to helping with outreach—always among the first to sign up for volunteer work shifts to help teach others about the Gingerbread House and be active in promoting and supporting existing events or conceptualizing new ones.
Jessica Milan Miller, Chief Executive Officer for Gingerbread House, added, “Over the past 25 years that the Gingerbread House has been serving our community, we have been blessed with amazing, caring individuals. Lauren is a great example. To me, she epitomizes servant leadership. It is a joy to be around someone with such a positive outlook and willingness to help
anywhere and anytime needed. She is an integral part of the good work the Gingerbread House does on behalf of children who have endured difficult and often tragic experiences.”
