nourishing Neighbors
What we do
Nourishing Neighbors fights food insecurity and waste by fairly compensating local farmers for unsold produce, redirecting it to local food shelves. This ensures fresh, healthy food reaches those in need while supporting our agricultural community and promoting sustainability.
In 2024, we donated over 17,400 pounds of produce to food shelves and community kitchens while bolstering our farmers businesses.
