Target demographics: Children, families, seniors and veterans

Programs: Montgomery County Hub Distributions: We donate to all eight County sponsored Hubs. Four hubs pick up food and we deliver to the other four. This is from the County Food Recovery contract in its first year. Off-site Family Distributions: In connection with DHHS, MCPS, and charity partners we donate a five-day supply of food to twelve sites. Outside of donating the food, Nourish Now handles all the job roles at four sites. Job roles include data collection, distribution of food, communication with clients, and more. Non-profit Distributions: Approximately ten-twelve charities pick up donations at Nourish Now to help supplement donations for their clients in need. Healthy SNACK MCPS program: We donate healthy snacks to nine Montgomery County Public schools, which equates to 4,000 students who receive food weekly. All schools pick up the snacks from our location.
