Winter Food Boxes
Help Feed a Family During Winter Break
When school is out, students lose access to school meals. Nourish Ability, through the generosity of our community, provides Winter Food Boxes to help families during the two-week winter school break.
Your donation can make a meaningful difference. Whether you contribute funds, donate food items, or organize a collection drive, your generosity helps Nourish Ability provide support to families when they need it most.
$120 can provide a Winter Food Box for one family.
