Nyack Nourishes

Picture
​Nyack Nourishes’ mission is to provide meals for the healthcare heroes working at Montefiore Nyack Hospital and the Nyack Community Ambulance Corps during the Covid 19 crisis while supporting local Nyack restaurants in need. 

Nyack Nourishes realizes that our community is more than just a group of people living in a town along the Hudson. Our community is a group of people who know that they can lean on each other when times are tough. No one in our community needs more support and nourishment at this moment than the healthcare workers on the front line and our small businesses.

Many of our friends, neighbors and family members make up those medical workers at Montefiore Nyack Hospital and the Nyack Community Ambulance Corps who are putting their lives at risk in the fight against the coronavirus outbreak. They are working extra shifts and long days to focus on caring for those in our community – rarely stopping to eat or think about a meal.

Nyack Nourishes and local Nyack restaurants want to help them fight on!
Picture
With your support, we will provide 50 individually boxed, full course meals per day to our healthcare heroes - while at the same time bolster the hard-working people working at the restaurants in Nyack that we all treasure. 

This initiative is being headed up by a handful of local residents working with the support of the Nyack Chamber of Commerce , Nyack restaurants, Montefiore Nyack Hospital  and the Nyack Community Ambulance Corp . All donations go straight to the local Nyack restaurants providing these meals.
Please continue to spread the word and check back to this page for updates. Feel free to contact Annie Hekker Weiss,  Susan Wilmink or Jen Knecht if you have any questions.  

Thank you for the generous donations!   In the fortunate event that we get beyond this crisis and have additional funds remaining, we will evenly distribute those donations among  the participating restaurants to use for a celebration with the hospital, EMTs and the community at large.  Stay tuned!

Thank you so much for your support during this difficult time.
Participating restaurants include:
Greek-ish (aka 8 North)
Casa del Sol
Didier Dumas
Hudson Market
Karenderya
Maura’s Kitchen
Mumbai Dreams
The Olde Village Inne
Strawberry Place
Thai House
We can only accommodate ten restaurants at this time but we know that many amazing restaurants in Nyack are rolling up their sleeves to feed healthcare workers and they need your help as well.  

​If you don't see your favorite Nyack restaurant listed, please contact them directly and we can assist them with the guidelines needed to serve individual bulk meals to the hospital and EMT workers.

Dear Nyack Nourishes Supporters-

​As we reflect and give thanks this Thanksgiving, we would be remiss not to reach out and share our gratitude to each of you. You supported and lifted up this community in the face of adversity. We are forever grateful.

Your generous donations made it possible for Nyack Nourishes to:
  • Support over 10 local family run restaurants that continue to conduct business to this day
  • Provide over 2000 meals to the the staff at Nyack Hospital as well as the Nyack Community Ambulance Corps.  
  • Give out 400 pizza pies (that supported 4 local pizzerias) and 200 gift bags (with items that supported local shops) to essential community members who worked in our banks, the DPWs, the Police departments (South Nyack, Nyack and Clarkstown), eight volunteer Fire departments, three pharmacies, three Village Halls, seven delicatessens, grocery store cashiers, gas station attendants, postal workers, the funeral home, the family run hardware store and the amazing Nyack Center to help us celebrate NYACK SUPER HERO DAY! 
  • Create a special Florence Nightingale Garden (in honor of her 200th birthday) at the Hospital while supporting local shops such as Colin Holmes and Hickory Dickory Dock

And on Thanksgiving night, while the shifts were changing at the hospital, we were able to deliver over 80 hand knitted scarves and hats as a thank you to the hospital workers who continue to be on the front line of this ever growing crisis. ​

We want to ask Maria Rodriguez to take a bow for knitting up a storm and being responsible for warming the hearts of over 80 Montefiore Nyack Hospital staff members. Thank you Maria!

We don't know what this winter will bring for our beloved community but we want to thank each of you again for supporting Nyack Nourishes. We appreciate it and you.

​PLEASE CONTINUE TO SHOP & EAT LOCAL THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!

LAWN SIGNS OF SUPPORT

Picture

​Let's support our local printer and our local restaurants at the same time!
Nyack Nourishes has teamed up with Harrington Press (run by brothers Dan and Rick Harrington) to create #NYACKSTRONG lawn signs of support.  Each sign is $25 and will be delivered directly (and sanitarily) to your door or placed in your lawn by Harrington Press.  Once the sign arrives, you can customize it and give a shout out to your Hometown Hero (or Heroes!).
If you want it delivered directly to your Hometown Hero, let Harrington Press know, they will handwrite in their name and deliver it to your hero's home with your best wishes. 

A portion of the sales will go to Nyack Nourishes which also supports the local restaurants.

​CENTER

​While Nyack Public Schools are closed, Nyack Center is open with a small skeleton staff M-F from 9:30 am until 1. They will be distributing “take out bagged” breakfast and lunch to children on free and reduced lunch
​until school reopens. They are working closely with the Nyack School District and other community partners to respond to the urgent needs caused by COVID-19. This outbreak has disrupted work and childcare for many families — and will continue to do so.  Support the Nyack Center so they can continue to be a beacon of light in the community.

HELP OUR LOCAL BARBER

​We are  Aidan and Nathan, we are 14 years old and Vlad at Nyack Barbershop has been our barber for our whole lives! He is responsible for our great haircuts and we know there are lots of others of you around town who Vlad and his crew keep looking sharp.    Due to COVID -19, the Nyack Barbershop is closed. We have decided to set up this Go Fund Me Page to help support him during this time.
