More than $2.3m in grants has been awarded by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation to more than 300 communities with over 900 nonprofit organizations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, and Connecticut last year.
Nourishing the North Shore (which serves the communities of Salisbury, West Newbury, Rowley, Amesbury, Newbury, and Newburyport with cooking and nutrition classes and food and garden deliveries) was awarded $50,000 of this amount.
The mission of the Foundation is to build health-conscious communities by subsidizing programs that make fresh, healthy food available and improve the wellbeing of communities where there may be disparities among the residents. The Healthy Food Fund initiative is one way the Foundation carries out this mission and it received over $1.57m in grant money last year.
Nourishing the North Shore is headquartered in Newburyport. Among its programs are School Food Recovery which works with the Newburyport Public Schools to recover and redistribute milk and produce to local food pantries during the school year. From June to November, it has a mobile vegetable market, where it collects high-quality excess produce from five local farmers, and runs a free farmers market at the food pantries of Pattengill and Newbury.
Banner printing companies can be hired to create Banners in the communities served so that people learn more about such grants and how they help to support the community.
