February is Spread the Love month at NourishNC! We’ll be sharing lots of short videos demonstrating the myriad of ways our supporters Spread the Love in our community PLUS some NEW, exciting ways for 2021! We want to know, “How will YOU Spread the Love”? There are so many ways to do this, so get your friends and co-workers together and help NourishNC Spread the Love!

  • Give Monthly, Nourish gets an EXTRA $250, Spread the Love All Year Long: For every new monthly donor who commits to a sustaining donation during February, an anonymous donor will contribute an additional $250 to our kiddos! Talk about really spreading the love!?! Our sustaining donor Hunger Heroes ensure that our kids have access to nutritious food all year long PLUS that extra $250 will feed 5 kids for an entire month! Sign up to become a monthly donor here, in any amount; it’s quick and easy, safely and securely takes your monthly giving off the To-Do list, effectively combats hunger amongst our community’s kids, and a WIN-WIN if you act now during this generous offer to Spread The Love! A $25 per month donation will provide a child with 2 full weeks of groceries including 3 real meals a day, fresh fruit and veggies, bread, eggs, meat, and lots of extra goodies! Our goal is to sign up 40 New Hunger Heroes. You can sign up to be the first here!
  • Have a Pint With Purpose: We teamed up with our friends and new near-neighbors at Hi-Wire Brewing to drop a delightfully delicious Tropical IPA, aptly named “Donate to Wilm kids by drinking this beer.” You can join us for the freshest and first pours when the beer drops at the Princess St. taproom on February 10! To ensure safety, make a reservation here or outside seating is first-come, first-serve. Strict COVID safety protocols will be in place. See here for more details. Even if you can’t join us, you can support our kiddos (and drink good beer) by picking up a 6-pack to go any time during February or enjoying the beer at several local establishments (TBA)!
