Nourish Our Neighbors

Feeding our community in a time of need.

A fundraising campaign for Hope & Main

If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is that we must be able to depend on each other to protect our health and safeguard the future of our community.

Thank you to everyone in our community who answered the call of our neighbors in need. You made Nourish Our Neighbors possible through your extraordinary generosity.  With the help of our devoted donors, volunteers, and agency partners Hope & Main has now distributed more than 22,000 meals and counting. Every meal reaches a grateful family; a homebound senior in Bristol, Warren or Barrington; women and children seeking protection from domestic violence under the care of the Women’s Resource Center; or a differently-abled adult struggling with food access in a group home managed by L.I.F.E., Inc.    Hope & Main is committed to sustaining this vital food assistance for the 10-week summer season until school is back in session. To continue to meet the needs of our food insecure community through Labor Day, we must raise $70,000 by July 20, 2020.

We invite you to contribute to the Nourish Our Neighbors Summer Campaign in any amount, because every dollar and every meal counts!   For just $32 you can provide a nutritious, prepared meal for a family of four. It has been a joy to get to know so many families who visit each day to pick up meals. These folks are the faces and the fabric of our treasured East Bay community and they deserve our ongoing care.   As always, thank you for your selfless caring and kind support for our neighbors in need!
