Nourish Now is a small nonprofit organization in the civic and social sector that specializes in food recovery and redistribution. It partners with grocers, caterers, restaurants, bakeries and other food donors to collect surplus food and provide it to children, families, the elderly, shelters, food pantries, and other hunger-relief organizations. Through its programs, the organization identifies viable donor partners and redistributes donations through a network serving Montgomery County, MD and the DC metropolitan region. Founded in 2011 by executive director Brett Meyers, Nourish Now is based in Rockville, Maryland. By 2013 it had established itself as Montgomery County's leader in prepared food recovery, with storage space, a refrigerated vehicle, and full-time staff dedicated to collection and redistribution. Since inception, Nourish Now has donated more than 18 million pounds of food and, in 2022, formed a partnership with Bellsmill to expand its distribution.
