One Stop Referral Process
Food First is more than just a referral tool; it serves as a crucial lifeline for Nantucket residents facing food insecurity.
The experience of seeking food support prior to Food First included people in distress having to search for programs and applying to each separately, without knowing if the program would work for them.
With Food First, a person needs to tell their story only once to be connected to all the appropriate programs suited to their needs and circumstances. For social service providers, the job of connecting their clients to food programs has been simplified, leaving them more time to focus on other needs they may have.
It takes just 10 minutes for a family in need to identify an appropriate food solution.
Food First made it easy for me to find the food I need for my child.
