Nourish Nantucket News

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.

Join us for Thought for Food. We`ll be sharing the full picture on June 15.

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.

Happy Birthday Nourish Nantucket!

We officially became Nourish Nantucket one year ago today.
