Mission
To reduce the incidence of hunger and malnutrition in Mecklenburg County by procuring and distributing groceries to people facing economic hardships and to deliver daily meals in a caring and friendly manner to individuals in our community who are unable due to age or infirmary to prepare their own meals.
Program accomplishments
- Nourish Ups mission is to nourish our neighbors with nutritious food and compassion which we do through our Grocery and Meals On Wheels programs, During our fiscal year through a network of 35 food pantries, including a grocery home delivery program, nutritious food was distributed to 98,676 people in our community in need. Neighbors are able to experience a dignified shopping experience at no cost for the groceries their families will enjoy. Based on the family size they are awarded points for each of the food categories to choose at a pantry to ensure they receive enough food to prepare 21 meals for every member of the household. Through our Meals on Wheels program, healthy prepared meals were delivered to 330 recipients who live in their own homes but are infirm and cannot prepare meals for themselves as well as to three adult/child daycares.Expenses $8,484,396 · grants $5,884,455
- Nourish Up delivers more than 300 meals daily to the elderly, handicapped, and convalescing people who are unable or greatly restricted in their ability to prepare or secure meals and who reside within an area we can reach with our corps of drivers. Deliveries are at the lunch hour but the meal is a full one, more like what many people are accustomed to for dinner. This meal consists of two separate containers, one with meat or fish, vegetables and such, the other with carbohydrate, salad or fruit and dessert. Diet orders are obtained for all clients from their doctors, and a range of special diets are available to fill doctor's written orders for certain medical conditions. While all recipients are asked to pay for the meals based on their ability to pay, recipient income alone does not pay for Nourish Up. Sponsors include approximately 80 faith-based communities and organization, as well as civic organizations and businesses. Other groups welcome donations of time as volunteers or as donors of the financial resources that allow us to serve all who need nutritious meals.Expenses $747,777 · revenue $287,323
