Help the Nantucket Resource Partnership feed our community by sponsoring fresh produce boxes for local families. As of the time of posting this blog, they are half way to their fundraising goal of $250,000.

Nourishing Nantucket and Pip & Anchor provide a box of locally-sourced, seasonal produce to 80 Nantucket families each week. The NN program provides island families who are experiencing food insecurity with the same healthy, delicious vegetables that are available to Pip & Anchor’s customers.

The program also contributes to the island’s growing agricultural economy by purchasing directly from Nantucket farmers. Your donation to Nourishing Nantucket both feeds island families and supports the development of a more sustainable food system for Nantucket.
