Happy Volunteer Week to all of our past and present volunteers! We couldn’t have done our work without your help! As you already know, Nourish relies heavily on volunteers to help pack and deliver food boxes, co-facilitate growing, cooking and canning workshops as well as civic literacy series, and to write our community cookbook. You help us grow connections, do research and powerfully illustrate that together we can make a difference and grow belonging through food.
For Melanie Jacobs, food is an expression of creativity and love.
From the time her kids were small, she made it her mission to create fun and nutritious recipes for her family. Despite living on a fixed budget, Melanie used what was in the cupboard and stretched it into amazing meals with little to no waste! These days her now adult kids still ask for some of their simple childhood faves, like beans and pitas, along with new menu additions. (actually – they love all food!)
“Once you smell the aroma of the sauce, the memories come flooding back.”
When Rosana makes her traditional bolognese sauce, the distinct aroma of the recipe helps bring back warm memories for her and her family.
Would you like to be more involved in your community? Nourish has a place for you. We’re looking for volunteers of all kinds:
