Our Mission
Nourish NC's mission is to strengthen community resources that connect children to healthy food and reduce food insecurity. We empower children to succeed in the classroom and community alike.
Our Backpack Program currently serves over 200 students in New Hanover County. Although we are a partnership agency with the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, our program is funded through private donors, grants and sponsorships. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our program or how you can help feed children in New Hanover County, please fill out our contact form on our website.Summer Food Box Drive

Box Sponsorship Drive
Our Summer Food Box Sponsorship is underway! Each tax deductible donation of $100 provides two months worth of kid-friendly, nutritious food to children in need in New Hanover County for the summer. Donations can be made through our paypal link or by mailing a check to our post office box. Our goal is to feed 250 children this summer!
If we exceed our goal, we will use any additional donations for the 2013/2014 Backpack Program.
