🎉 Nourishing Bethesda Turns SIX! 🎉

On August 14, we celebrate six years of Nourishing Bethesda—and six extraordinary years of neighbors helping neighbors.

What began in 2020 as an emergency response to the pandemic has grown into a powerful community effort to ensure our neighbors have access to fresh, nutritious food and the support they need.

Over these six years, thousands of families have walked through our doors, and thousands of volunteers, donors, community partners, businesses, faith communities, and friends have stepped forward to help. Every bag packed, every pound of food rescued, every donation made, and every hour volunteered has mattered.

We are incredibly proud of how far we’ve come—but even more grateful for the community that made it possible.

As we begin Year Seven, our commitment is stronger than ever: to nourish our neighbors, strengthen our community, and ensure that no one in Bethesda faces hunger alone.

Happy 6th Birthday, Nourishing Bethesda! 🎂🍉🍊🍑🥬🍅🫑

Here’s to the next chapter—and to all of you who make this work possible.

Things are looking pretty fresh around here! ✨

Our amazing volunteers are unloading a beautiful donation of fresh produce from our wonderful friends at Norman’s Farm Market! 🍅🫐🌽

We’re over the rainbow for fresh fruits and veggies, generous partners, and volunteers who make it all happen. 🌈

Because when the produce is this fresh, you can’t help but see the bright side! 🥰

It takes many helping hands to ensure our neighbors have access to fresh, healthy food—and we’re so grateful to the Marriott Life Cycle & Partner Marketing team for lending theirs at Nourishing Bethesda! 🥬

During their volunteer shift, the team packed fresh produce and bagels for distribution to our clients, helping us get nutritious food into the hands of neighbors who need it most. Every bag they filled represents a family that will have fresh, wholesome food to enjoy. 🌽

We love seeing teams come together to make a tangible difference in our community, and Marriott’s enthusiasm, teamwork, and commitment to service were evident.

Thank you, Marriott Life Cycle & Partner Marketing, for helping us nourish our neighbors and strengthen our community. We truly appreciate your partnership!

When a team comes together with a shared commitment to helping their community, great things happen. 💚🧡

A heartfelt thank you to the Wingman Capitol Group of UBS for spending time volunteering with Nourishing Bethesda! The team helped stock our Choice Market with bagels and packed groceries for seniors, making it easier for our neighbors to access healthy, nutritious food. 🥕

Their generosity didn’t stop there. The team is also conducting a cereal drive, collecting boxes of breakfast goodness to help clients start their day off right.

🌟 A very special thank you to Casey Coffman for organizing this annual event and for your continued leadership and dedication to our mission. Casey reflected on the volunteer experience: “As someone who grew up in a very rural area, in a household with very hardworking parents who got by paycheck to paycheck, there were plenty of times we had to rely on the school system and local churches to bridge the gap. Continuing to volunteer and provide support to NB has given me the opportunity to bring things full circle in life, and has been such an honor to not just me, but to the entire office at UBS Bethesda.”

🧡💚 UBS

We love summer! 😎

Our Choice Market was filled with fresh, seasonal produce this past week, giving clients access to delicious fruits and vegetables like cabbage, corn, watermelon, eggplant, berries, and so much more.

A heartfelt thank-you to our amazing partners—Capital Area Food Bank, Norman's Farm Market, and HarvestShare MD—for helping make fresh, nutritious food available to our community.

Meet Janalie and Jacob 🌱 — rising seniors at BCC High School and Lazarus Leadership Fellows.

Through the program, Janalie and Jacob are leading Neighbors Nourishing Neighbors, a community project tackling food insecurity. After a summer spent researching communities in need, they put together meal packages filled with nutritious ingredients and a cookbook of easy recipes. Their goal: distribution to families who need them most, and we are grateful they chose the families of Nourishing Bethesda as the recipients.

Nourishing Bethesda is thankful for young leaders stepping up to make a real difference!
