What We Do

If you were hungry and without food for you and your family, would you know where to get food? This question mobilized people in our community to start addressing the basic human needs in their city by creating human connection and fostering community collaboration and continues to drive the mission of Nourishing Networks. Every network we establish attends to the immediate needs of their area by joining forces with other organizations, services, and local leaders to increase awareness and help fill the gaps with any emerging issues within a community. We work to make our impact in various ways including:

CONNECT

We help individuals and families who are searching for resources, whether it is food, a warm place to go for the night, tenant help or any other emerging community need, to find local and regional resources., and we help the people and organizations who have those resources get to the people in their community that are searching for them.

FACILITATE

All meetings are using Zoom and their meetings are usually an hour. Click on the local group page here on this website that you want to join, find out meeting times, and connect with the group’s contact people as they are listed. They’ll send you an email invite that will contain the zoom link to the next meeting with more information on what to expect at the meeting and what’s going on lately in the group. Some groups post their zoom links on the website also.  There are no dues or fees to join, it’s all free. It’s that easy!

SUPPORT

We assist projects with fundraising campaigns, grant applications, and other efforts to provide funds to create a direct impact on communities.

STRENGTHEN

We strengthen our communities by creating an inclusive space to address any emerging community issue, such as food insecurity. We connect with all networks to expand and reinforce the safety net so we leave no one behind.

WE GET STUFF DONE
