NourishNY: Strengthening Communities Across Upstate New York
In Upstate New York, far too many families face the daily struggle of food insecurity. Access to fresh, nutritious food is often limited, particularly in rural and underserved communities. At the same time, local farmers and food producers often experience surplus harvests and shifting market demands. NourishNY bridges this gap by creating a direct connection between New York farms and families in need. At Glennon Trade LLC, we are proud to support this mission and contribute to building stronger, healthier communities.
What is NourishNY?
Launched as a state initiative, NourishNY was designed to tackle two critical challenges at once: supporting local farms and addressing food insecurity. By purchasing excess or unsold products from farmers and food producers, the program ensures that high-quality food doesn’t go to waste. Instead, it is redirected to food bank resources and community organizations that distribute it to families who need it most.
The result is a win-win model: local agriculture is strengthened, families gain access to nutritious meals, and the community as a whole benefits from a more resilient food system.
Glennon Trade’s Role in the Mission
At Glennon Trade, we believe that businesses have a responsibility to give back to the communities where we live and work. Our involvement with NourishNY is one way we put that belief into practice. We collaborate with the program by promoting awareness, encouraging partnerships, and identifying opportunities where businesses like ours can help amplify its impact.
Supporting NourishNY aligns perfectly with our mission: strengthening local economies while caring for our neighbors. By working with the program, we not only help deliver fresh food to families but also contribute to the long-term vitality of Upstate New York farms.
Supporting Food Bank Resources
A key component of NourishNY is its ability to channel products directly to food bank resources and community pantries. This centralized approach ensures that food is distributed quickly and efficiently, reaching even the most rural parts of Upstate New York.
At Glennon Trade, we see firsthand how essential these resources are. By helping strengthen the supply chain from farm to food bank, we can play a role in ensuring that fresh produce, dairy, and proteins make their way into kitchens across the region. The impact is immediate—families receive nutritious food, while local organizations are empowered to focus on what they do best: serving their communities.
Investing in Hunger Relief Programs
Beyond providing food, NourishNY is reshaping how we think about hunger relief programs. It demonstrates that food assistance can be about dignity, quality, and sustainability. Rather than a short-term fix, NourishNY builds long-term connections that support both families and farms.
Glennon Trade is committed to reinforcing this model. By advocating for the program, contributing resources, and encouraging others to get involved, we aim to strengthen hunger relief programs across Upstate New York and ensure they continue to thrive.
