At Nourish the People, we believe something simple and profound:  every living being on this beautiful Earth has basic needs…to be loved,  fed, watered, sheltered, and live free from fear. These are the  fundamentals of a dignified life. And the crazy part? There are plenty  of resources for everyone, the issue lies in the distribution.

It’s time we come together as a community and help our brothers and  sisters. To care for one another as family… because we are all part of  this earthly family. When one of us is nourished, we all are nourished.

Your support allows us to feed families facing food insecurity  locally and abroad. Donations and auction purchases help provide  groceries, warm meals, temporary shelter, school support, and  micro-business investments that give families a chance to stand on their  own. Every dollar goes directly to people who need help right now.

And this holiday season, you can make a difference in a truly meaningful—and joyful—way.

Nourish the people - Building a Better Future

About Us

Get Involved

Get Involved

Nourish the People is a nonprofit organization devoted to supporting individuals and families experiencing food insecurity—both in our local communities and across the world.

Our work adapts to the real needs of the people we serve: sometimes it’s providing fresh groceries, sometimes it’s helping secure safe shelter, sometimes it’s offering education, resources, or seed funding for a small micro-business to flourish.

To date, we’ve been honored to extend support throughout Oakland and other regions of California, as well as communities in Haiti and Guatemala.

Nourish the people - Building a Better Future

It's  time to come together as a community and take care of one another. When  you see someone who needs a little extra support, reach out your  hand... I met Rachel through the Buy Nothing group when she posted that  she was in need of food for her 5 children. We have since become friends  and she just needs a little community support.    
She is a single mom to 6 children (5 live with her). Two are  autistic. She has stomach cancer, diabetes, and has been in and out of  the hospital for the past 4 years. She used to be a bus driver for AC  Transit before she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2007. She is  overwhelmed and is asking for help from the community.  
She would like to use this money to buy shoes and clothes for her kids, get her car fixed, get  caught up on bills, breathe, and get healthy! The HEALTHY part  is, of course, the most important... and by relieving some of the  financial stress, some love and care, we can help make this a reality  for Rachel and her family.

If you feel called to help this beautiful family find their footing  again, please give what you can... every little bit helps and will go  directly to them!  


If you feel called to help, the Brionez Family could really use it!

Thank you for caring!
