A Long Island nonprofit
Fighting hunger
One Nourish Box at a time
What We Do
Every month, Nourish Long Island delivers Nourish Box — a free meal kit — directly to the homes of Long Island families experiencing food insecurity.
Each Nourish Box is filled with fresh, healthy ingredients and easy-to-follow recipes that help families prepare at least seven hearty, home-cooked meals.
Delivering donated food in a thoughtfully curated Nourish Box ensures families receive support with respect, privacy and autonomy. Our families receive a meal kit delivered right to their doorstep—just like millions of others who enjoy the convenience of popular meal kit services.
Why We Do It
Over 300,000 Long Islanders—including 70,000 children—struggle to put food on the table. Many are hardworking families stretched thin by the high cost of living.
Without steady access to nutritious food, kids can’t learn, adults can’t thrive, and seniors are forced to choose between groceries and medicine.
At Nourish Long Island, our mission is to fight hunger and nurture dignity by providing LI families in need with wholesome food they can prepare and share together. We believe everyone deserves access to healthy, home-cooked meals.

805 Nourish Boxes Delivered…
And Counting…
When the pandemic left Long Island families struggling to put food on the table, Nourish Long Island stepped up. Since July 2019, we’ve delivered 805 Nourish Boxes—filled with fresh, healthy ingredients—to families facing hunger. Each box represents more than meals; it’s comfort, dignity, and hope shared around the dinner table.
A Fresh Take on Fighting Hunger - The Nourish Box
We’ve transformed the idea of a meal kit into something deeper—a Nourish Box that helps families cook together, eat well, and rediscover joy in food. Each box provides ingredients for about 7 hearty, home-cooked meals, along with simple recipes to make the most of every item.
Our Impact

“Nourish Box gives us vegetables that are fresh and colorful. We get really amazing food that we are able to use throughout the month and help stock our pantry. Nourish Box is a gift for my entire family."

“When I saw kids eating your food and really enjoying it, that made me happy. My last box had feta cheese, beautiful cherry tomatoes, and delicious olive oil, which lasted a long time!”
Elizabeth
"Lately I have been nervous about what food I can buy for my family. Receiving a monthly meal kit from Nourish Box is so helpful. I made the Curry Sweet Potato Soup with all your ingredients. My children loved it!"
