Fresh produce arrival for Thanksgiving Dinner distribution
Our vision is to be anywhere and everywhere hungry kids need us
NourishNC has three strategic programs specifically designed to provide nutritious food to hungry children in our community.
Backpack Program
The Backpack Program provides food insecure children, pre-K through 5th grade, with three nutritious meals a day, every weekend, and over every school break.
Market On Market
The Market on Market (The MoM) is a full-service grocery store where food insecure children, pre-K through 12th grade, and their families can shop to choose the food that is best for them.
Food Farmacy
The Food Farmacy Program provides non-perishable and fresh food items through partner organizations such as schools, pediatrician offices, and other nonprofits.
