A cancer diagnosis upends life, leading patients to reallocate resources from essentials like food. The American Cancer Society determined that 1/2 of all people with cancer experience financial distress and have to decide between food or care. The Nourish Food Pantry at St. Elizabeth plays a vital role in supporting individuals who experience food insecurity, particularly those managing chronic illnesses and undergoing medical treatment. Through community partnerships and donations, the pantry can provide produce, proteins, and other healthy staples to those in need. Since opening in 2023, the pantry has provided more than 77,000 pounds of food, more than 64,000 meals, and fed more than 11,000 people.
