Nourish Up, a Charlotte nonprofit that works to fight food insecurity has received the largest gift in its history from the David and Nicole Tepper Foundation. The $3 million gift will go towards Nourish Up's $23 million campaign to launch the organization's "Hunger Hub."

We are thrilled to support the organization and its new Hunger Hub as part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring our neighbors have access to healthy meals and basic needs.” Since 2018, the David and Nicole Tepper Foundation has given over $6.4 million to food banks.
