ChristianaCare and Lutheran Community Services bring radical change to the First State with a program to fight food insecurity.
For the past year, the coronavirus pandemic has changed thousands of lives throughout the nation, but it really hit home here in the First State. A newly launched program in New Castle County has enacted change to help people fight food insecurity, get the help they need for their medical conditions and get out from under financial burdens.
ChristianaCare and Lutheran Community Services partner up to bring change to the First State through a pilot meal donation program that minimizes barriers for those with high-risk medical needs.
In the early months of 2020, NourishNC was feeding around 1,200 local children though its programs like Food Farmacy and Toddler Tummies.
It’s substantial growth for an organization that started simply, with a backpack program that fed 10 kids at one school in 2008. Three years ago, a tweak to their mission statement found them growing beyond the signature backpack program to be everywhere they needed to be in the New Hanover County area to help hungry kids, according to Steve McCrossan, executive director.
That meant changing again during pandemic-related school closures and dealing again with intensified need. At the height of the pandemic they were helping feed 1,650 children at 53 local schools.
