building & practicing a holistic approach to community care by centering the needs of Black LGBT+ New Yorkers since May 2020

  • Love Is Actionable

    Our work is grounded in the belief that in order to create an equitable and beautiful world, our love needs to be actionable. Following in the footsteps of many Black feminist thinkers, radical love guides every decision made at nourishNYC.

  • We Feed People, And We Feed Them Well.

    People over money - period.

    From distribution of essential goods through our free store, to supporting community fridges and pantries, to distributing microgrants, to hosting arts programming, nourishNYC centers the belief that when we all come together, the needs of every individual in our community can be met.

  • We Stand On Our Sh*t

    Building and practicing a holistic approach to community care means that we are responsible to each other and the communities we belong to. We believe in every decision we make, but sometimes we make mistakes and are committed to learning from them.
