Banco de Alimentos de Nosara / Nosara Food Bank
The Nosara Food Bank was founded in 2013 to provide food and other household necessities to families living in extreme poverty in the Nosara District. Before the COVID economic downturn, food baskets were distributed monthly. At the current time, the Nosara Food Bank is helping alleviate food insecurity for about 700 families who are still affected by the zero-tourism season.
