At Nourish Up,
We accept no excuses for
our neighbors going hungry.
Let’s End Food Insecurity
Two long-standing non-profits with a rich history of fighting hunger, Loaves & Fishes and Friendship Trays, joined forces with a new name, Nourish Up. Lifting up our community through food, we provide groceries to our neighbors in need in Mecklenburg County through the largest network of food pantries in North Carolina, grocery home delivery, and delivering healthy meals each weekday through our Meals on Wheels program.
Stories from Our Community
Meet Larry
Larry shared a heartwarming memory of how he discovered Nourish Up (formerly Loaves & Fishes/Friendship Trays) nearly 13 years ago. He saw a volunteer delivering a meal in his neighborhood and asked, “What have you got there?” The man replied, “Well, this is Friendship Trays and we deliver food to people who need a little extra help.”
