NOSH Goes To School!
NOSH Delivers! and the Kids Food Independence Program (KFIP) are excited to invite you to join our mission.
The NOSH Delivers! food pantry is open 4–5 days a week, serving 750 local families weekly with essential groceries, while NOSH volunteers also deliver groceries for meals directly to neighbors who are unable to visit the pantry. Inspired by NOSH, the Kids Food Independence Program (KFIP) was born—a program for kids, by kids! KFIP fills the gap on the 185 days each year when federally funded school meal programs are unavailable, such as weekends, holidays, and school breaks. Each week, KFIP provides 800+ shelf-stable breakfast and lunch bags, filled and decorated with care. Your support is instrumental to the success of this mission!
