Each month, the 1400 children who are enrolled in our Backpack Program are invited to the Market on Market (aka MoM!) to stock up on fresh fruits and veggies. This month we are also offering bread, chicken and milk. Thank you to our friends at Wilmington Health for sponsoring this month’s Produce Power Up and for supporting children in our community who struggle with food insecurity. Check out our video!
NourishNC has three strategic programs specifically designed to provide nutritious food to hungry children in our community.
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.
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.
Mobile MoM is a custom-built market that revolutionizes nourishment for food-insecure children and their families.
The Food Farmacy Program provides non-perishable and fresh food items through partner organizations such as schools, pediatrician offices, and other nonprofits.
