On-Air with Doug – Meg Browers – Nourish Nantucket-Feed Nantucket

Nantucket Radio 97.7 ACK FM - True Island Radio

Doug sits down with Meg Browers, Director at Nourish Nantucket, to explore Feed Nantucket which is a smart, community-driven initiative tackling two big challenges at once: food waste and food insecurity. Launched this summer, the program collects unused, unopened groceries from short-term rental properties and redirects them to islanders in need, rather than letting them end up in the landfill. Meg shares how the program works, why it’s so critical during Nantucket’s peak vacation months, and how partnerships with local hosts, cleaners, and food distribution networks are helping to close the gap between surplus and need. It’s a fresh, sustainable way to feed the island one pantry at a time. Visit https://nourishnantucket.org/.
