Nancy’s Project exists to reduce food insecurity and increase access to essential household goods for Monterey County families who grow the fresh food others enjoy but which they can seldom afford. Nancy’s Project volunteers collect surplus food from partner grocers five days a week for distribution in farm communities throughout the Salinas Valley. On delivery days, donated clothing, shoes, toys and household basics ride along with the food containers in the Nancy’s Project’s van. These in-kind donations, and funds to cover our operational costs, come from generous donors who share our admiration and respect for farm labor families.
Responding to needs
Nancy's Project raised donations to help The Migrant Education Program 6th Grade Debate Team. Thankfully we were able to provide money to purchase the required suits to take part in the competition!
Our regular food deliveries continue to help get food to the tables of hard working families.
We collect and distribute gift donations to make getting a brand new bike possible. Yes!
Nancy’s Project is staffed by a group of 50 volunteers. In addition to our food deliveries our volunteers work alongside other volunteer groups and organizations within our community. Together we find creative ways to work together to make a difference to farm worker families.
