WOW! What a year. Food prices continue to soar. Product availability is still limited. A Covid resurgence and global financial insecurity loom. We have hundreds of children displaced to hotel rooms. We moved locations and wrapped up a capital campaign. Whew! Despite all this and thanks to you, NourishNC has remained unwavering in our commitment to provide high-quality food to hungry and food insecure kids anywhere and everywhere they need it. Thank you!

We are finally in our new facility and we love it! More importantly, our kids and their families love The Market on Market (aka “The MoM”). It’s been spectacular to watch children and their families shop together and choose the food that is best for them.

A mother recently wrote us to tell us: “The program is a huge help for my family, and we are extremely grateful to receive it. Our family struggles financially every month just to live and maintain. Being a recipient of NourishNC, prevents my daughter from missing breakfast, lunch, dinner or even a snack several days out the month. The new Market on Market option to shop and pick what my daughter likes is something she looks forward to each month and prevents any food waste by not receiving any items she doesn’t particularly care for. We have really enjoyed getting to choose the foods she receives. It’s also something we get to enjoy together, and I feel it’s a small way of teaching her an important life skill – choosing the foods she wants to eat, “shopping” for it, and teaching her how to prepare the food! It is instilling food knowledge and confidence in herself. Thank you NourishNC for blessing us monthly!”

THANK YOU for making this possible for hundreds of families, not just the one we heard from above. You generosity and willingness to act have made our community a better place. We can’t build happy and healthy kids without you. Let’s continue to do great things together!
