Marriott employees are frequent contributors to our mission, and this time their kids got in on the act! During the company’s recent “Bring Your Child to Work” Day, kids and parents worked together to create over 250 bags of tasty snacks with uplifting artwork and messages. Our clients benefit from the calories and care in every bag. Thank you! #NourishingBethesda 🧡💚 #Community #Caring #Nonprofit #MontgomeryCountyMD Marriott International

Our sincere thanks to Logan MacKethan and the Bethesda and Chevy Chase offices of TTR Sotheby’s! Logan and the TTR Sotheby’s team collected over 463 pounds of shelf-stable items for the families served by Nourishing Bethesda. As part of her effort to make a difference in our community, Logan also brought a group of colleagues and friends to sort and organize food at the NB Sorting Center and Pantry. This incredible team sorted over 1,600 pounds of food - a value of over $3,070. Logan’s dedication to making a positive impact in our community is both inspiring and appreciated. Thank you to Logan and her colleagues Michael Favazzo and his little ones, Robert Crawford, Dana Cruz, Laura Fitzgerald, and Gioia Bonnmartini for a great volunteer effort!⁣ ⁣ Nourishing Bethesda is now the largest supporter of food-insecure neighbors in the BCC area, and we couldn’t do what we do without the enthusiasm of volunteers and advocates like Logan and TTR Sotheby’s. ⁣ ⁣ Please join us in the fight to end food insecurity in our area by holding a food drive or volunteering with us!⁣ ⁣ 🥫🥫🥫⁣ ⁣ #NourishingBethesda 🧡💚 #Community #Caring #Nonprofit #MontgomeryCountyMD

Employees of CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield showed just how much they care by coming to pack food as part of our First Thursday Packing Program. Thank you!🙏🏽 ⁣ ⁣ Did you know individuals experiencing food insecurity are more than twice as likely to report having a chronic health condition that limits their daily activities compared to their food-secure counterparts? For those facing food insecurity, fresh fruits and vegetables, an important part of healthy eating, are often out of reach, but Nourishing Bethesda provides them to clients every week.⁣ ⁣ #NourishingBethesda 🧡💚 #Community #Caring #Nonprofit #MontgomeryCountyMD CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield

NIH is right in Nourishing Bethesda’s backyard, and we were delighted when NIH Library leadership reached out to see how their team could help us fight food insecurity in our community. This enthusiastic group packed bags of snacks 🍎 for our clients and they were excited to learn that we share 2000 books a year with young readers 📚 . Thanks for serving with us!⁣ ⁣ #NourishingBethesda 🧡💚 #Community #Caring #Nonprofit #MontgomeryCountyMD #NIH

CM Jawando Visit ✨⁣ ⁣ Thanks to Montgomery County Councilmember Will Jawando and Senior Legislative Aide, Marisa Van Saanen, for volunteering at NB!

Nourishing Bethesda recently spoke to the fifth grade class at Washington Episcopal School about the intersection between food insecurity and homelessness. The students’ concern for their community was evident in their thoughtful questions and eagerness to learn more about this important issue. WES’s January school-wide service activity to pack healthy snack bags for Nourishing Bethesda and their annual canned food drive translates that learning into tangible action that benefits neighbors in need. 🍎⁣ ⁣ #NourishingBethesda 🧡💚 #Community #Caring #Nonprofit #MontgomeryCountyMD Washington Episcopal School

A sincere thanks goes to Alex Lieb and the Knights of Columbus Rock Creek Council! Their latest food drive for Nourishing Bethesda at the Giant Food on Arlington Road collected over 414 pounds of shelf-stable items for families in need in our area.⁣ ⁣ Alex’s dedication to making a positive impact in our community is both inspiring and appreciated. Nourishing Bethesda is now the largest supporter of food-insecure neighbors in the BCC area, and we couldn’t do what we do without volunteers and advocates like Alex and the Knights.⁣ ⁣ These efforts will take a big bite out of the food insecurity that so many of our neighbors, including many hundreds of children, struggle with every day.⁣ ⁣ We are grateful to Alex and the volunteers like him for making a difference in our community. SAVE THE DATE: our next food drive sponsored by the Knights of Columbus Rock Creek Council will be on June 15th!⁣ ⁣ #NourishingBethesda 🧡💚 #Community #Caring #Nonprofit #MontgomeryCountyMD Giant Food Alex Lieb
