Delivering
healthy food
to LI families
impacted by hunger.
What We Do
Every month, Nourish Long Island delivers a free Nourish Box directly to the homes of Long Island families facing food insecurity.
Think of it as a meal kit with purpose—filled with fresh, healthy ingredients and easy-to-follow recipes that help families prepare at least six hearty, home-cooked meals.
Why We Do It
Over 300,000 Long Islanders—including 70,000 children—struggle to put food on the table. Many are hardworking families stretched thin by the high cost of living.
Without steady access to nutritious food, kids can’t learn, adults can’t thrive, and seniors are forced to choose between groceries and medicine.
How You Can Help
Step 3
Nourish Box delivers our meal kits at food distribution locations, or directly to the homes of families or individuals in need.
805 Nourish Boxes Delivered
When the pandemic left Long Island families struggling to put food on the table, Nourish Long Island stepped up. Since July 2019, we’ve delivered 805 meal kits, which we call “Nourish Boxes”—filled with fresh, healthy ingredients—to families facing hunger. Each box represents more than meals; it’s comfort, dignity, and hope shared around the dinner table.
A Fresh Take on Fighting Hunger - The Nourish Box
We’ve transformed the idea of a meal kit into something deeper—a Nourish Box that helps families cook together, eat well, and rediscover joy in food. Each box provides ingredients for about 6 hearty, home-cooked meals, along with simple recipes to make the most of every item.
Your support helps deliver more than food—it delivers hope.

“When I saw kids eating your food and really enjoying it, that made me happy. My last box had feta cheese, beautiful cherry tomatoes, and delicious olive oil, which lasted a long time!”

"Lately I have been nervous about what food I can buy for my family. Receiving a monthly meal kit from Nourish Box is so helpful. I made the Curry Sweet Potato Soup with all your ingredients. My children loved it!"
