Noticias de Nourish Nantucket

88% of Nantucket neighbors at risk of food insecurity are seniors or families with children.

Think about that. Our kids. Our seniors. The family members that make this island a community.

Older adults managing on fixed incomes. Families stretching every dollar between rent, childcare, and groceries. Nearly 1 in 2 Nantucket students qualifies for school meal assistance, and when summer comes, that lifeline disappears.

That`s why Nourish Nantucket is working alongside nearly 20 partner programs to ensure every neighbor has reliable access to nutritious food. We’re starting the first summer student meals program on island this July.

Our new Food Security Assessment tells the full story. We can`t wait to share it with you.

Here`s something most people don`t realize about Nantucket:

Food insecurity here isn`t only about deep poverty. It`s about the living-wage gap, neighbors who earn too much to qualify for assistance, but not enough to cover the basics on an island where housing alone can consume more than half your income.

Nearly 4,719 of our neighbors live in this gap.

Our new Food Security Assessment captures the full picture of need on Nantucket, and it`s helping us build a smarter, more collaborative path forward.

Did you know? Nearly 1 in 3 year-round Nantucket residents faces food insecurity.

It`s not what most people picture. It`s your child`s teacher. Your nurse. The tradesperson who fixed your roof. The people who live, work, and raise families here are the heart and soul of this island, and many are struggling to put food on the table.

We commissioned a comprehensive, data-driven Food Security Assessment for Nantucket, and the findings will change how you think about our community.
