How to Help Build a Food-Secure Island Community with Nourish Nantucket

Support Your Nantucket Neighbors

Nantucket is known for its breathtaking beaches, charming streets, and vibrant summer scene—but beyond the postcard-perfect moments lies a strong year-round community that faces real challenges, including food insecurity. In fact, more than 1 in 5 Nantucket residents struggle to access consistent, healthy meals throughout the year.

That’s where Nourish Nantucket steps in.

This island-based initiative is a vital connector for over a dozen food programs and more than 23 social service agencies. Its mission? To end food insecurity on Nantucket by supporting families in need and ensuring that every neighbor has access to fresh, nourishing food.

One of the most impactful efforts is the Send It Box program by Pip & Anchor. Each week, these boxes deliver an abundance of seasonal, locally grown produce to island families. It’s not just about fruits and vegetables—it’s about providing relief for household budgets stretched thin by Nantucket’s high cost of living.

Currently, 80 families—over 300 islanders—receive a Send It Box every week, but more than 100 families are still on the waitlist.

You can help change that.

For just $100 a month, you can sponsor a local neighbor’s access to the Send It Box program. This Neighbor to Neighbor sponsorship creates a direct, meaningful connection—your recurring gift delivers food, dignity, and support to someone right here on the island.

Let’s work together to nourish our Nantucket community, one neighbor at a time.
