Support Us
NFFRA relies on the support of community members in the form of time (attend events), talent (volunteer), and treasure (make a donation). Please consider tapping into one of your “funds” of time, treasure, or talent to support this work, assist your neighbors, and help to insure the strength of a diverse community on Nantucket.
Donate
We could not provide the services to our Nantucket neighbors without the generosity of community, our grantors, and our donors. NFFRA receives grant support from local and regional foundations and town programs. The local churches and congregations also provide funds through the Nantucket Interfaith Council, to support the food, fuel, and rental assistance programs. NFFRA also relies on gifts from individual donors to operate these programs and provide benefits.
No gift is too small. Recurring monthly gifts are greatly appreciated as it helps us project income available to provide services. Without this help at all levels, we could not offer these services. Please consider helping us help our neighbors.

Volunteer
Volunteers are critical to providing the services of food, fuel and rental assistance to our neighbors. Time commitments can range from 1 hour to 5 hours per week, depending on the task at hand. Volunteers help stock shelves at the pantry, “rescue” food from local restaurants and seasonal rental homes, share the harvest from their private gardens, assist with regular mailings and general office tasks, staff information booths at local fairs and events, organize and staff our annual Chef’s Dinner, and host neighborhood events to introduce others to NFFRA’s work.
To volunteer at NFFRA, please go to our volunteer page and fill out a form.
Attend
The Chef’s Dinner held each fall is our annual fundraising event. All food and preparation for the Dinner is donated by The Nantucket Yacht Club, and volunteers serve the meal.
Please join us next year for our Chef’s Dinner at the Nantucket Yacht Club. Our next Chef’s Dinner is scheduled for September 15, 2019!
Are you interested in attending or hosting a neighborhood event to tell others about the NFFRA’s work? Please contact the NFFRA office at 508.680.3559
