The COMMUNITY NOURISHMENT PROGRAMS (CNP) include a Food Bank, Food Pantry, Buen Provecho Farmer’s Market, and Little Health Market, that offer weekly, choice-driven access to fresh produce and culturally relevant pantry staples to approximately 32,000 unduplicated people (260,000 encounters of service) a year. CNP goes beyond food security to change ongoing nutrition security outcomes for vulnerable people. By ensuring that 70% of the food is fresh—fruits, vegetables, dairy, proteins—we offer nutrition security, defined as consistent and equitable access to healthy, safe, affordable foods essential to optimal health and well-being.

These support services offer resources, referrals, and system navigation for mental health services as well as supportive services, such as diapers, wipes, household items, utility assistance, personal care goods, housing support, and other necessities for families with children aged 0-5. Hope & Care also oversees our First Step services for the homeless and supports them with hygiene products, clean clothing, and curated food bags, along with referrals to additional services.
