Many year-round Nantucket residents struggle with high living costs, often forcing tough choices between essentials and food.
Local food programs are currently facing unprecedented demand and without more funding, they risk falling short. Our food insecurity programs island-wide are stretched thin; waitlists are in the hundreds and continue to grow. We’re hearing from social service agencies that needs have increased week after week since the new year and show no sign of slowing down. The need is on-going, but especially in winter when seasonal work declines. Two of our most requested supplemental food programs – Pip Send-It boxes and Fresh Connect – are at capacity. Additional funding is crucial to securing food, expanding program capacity, and serving our neighbors in need.
