Join Nourish the people's Fight Against Hunger
Hunger is a serious issue in our community, but you can help! Food insecurity is a real experience for many locally and world wide.
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.
JOIN US FOR AN EVENING OF GOOD FOOD & LIVE ENTERTAINMENT!
Join us for a night of good food, good laughter, and big heart. 💛
