If you cannot feed a hundred people, then feed just one” – Mother Teresa

Jesus said to them, 'Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.' So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and though there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, 'Come and have breakfast." [...] Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish." -John 21 10-12a; 13
NSI is the embodiment of Jesus' blessing on his disciples with the abundance of fish and the breaking of bread. We are united with one another when we share in the abundance of what God has offered to us in this world and NSI is a place where it is shared with our neighbors.

NSI is more than just a food pantry that addresses the basic needs of our neighbors -- it lays out the foundation for building a stronger, supportive community that respects the dignity of each individual. As a member of the NSI board, I am deeply fulfilled and humbled each day by witnessing the collective dedication and passion of our community members to make meaningful changes in lives of others.

NSI provides services to neighbors in our community with grace and respect. People are treated with dignity. NSI's mission fulfills one of the tenets of all major religions to fight hunger and poverty. "But if one of you has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need and refuses to help-how can God's love be in that person? Dear children, let us stop just saying we love each other; let us really show it by our actions." 1 John 3:17-18
