A note from our founder

Keishecka S. Miller, founder of Nourish Rochester

No child in our city should go hungry on a Sunday. As a mother and a neighbor, I’ve seen the gap that opens when school lets out for the summer — and I believe our community has everything it needs to fill it, together.

“We don’t just serve meals — we invest in the same neighborhoods, streets, and stories that make Rochester home.”
