In November, the Braver Angels of Wilmington packed 120 food boxes for NourishNC's Food Farmacy Program. The program provides non-perishable and fresh food items through partner organizations such as schools, pediatrician offices, and other nonprofits. 

Here's how it works: 

• At pediatrician offices, clinicians assess children for food insecurity. Children struggling with hunger and food insecurity are immediately provided with a box of non-perishable food containing more than 35 strategic meals. Each child also receives a “prescription” for fresh produce, lean meats, eggs, and bread, which can be picked up at NourishNC.

• NourishNC community partners deliver the food boxes to the homes of vulnerable children ages 1-4 years old, who have been exposed to, or are experiencing poverty, violence, depression, Adverse Childhood Events (ACEs), developmental delays, homelessness, anger issues, incarcerated parent(s), etc. 

•  At community centers, schools, and at other nonprofits, NourishNC provides everything from snacks to fully stocked pantries.
