The primary goals of the Community Food Projects grant program are to:



  *   Meet the food needs of low-income individuals through food distribution, community outreach to assist in participation in Federally assisted nutrition programs, or improving access to food as part of a comprehensive service;

  *   Increase the self-reliance of communities in providing for the food needs of the communities;

  *   Promote comprehensive responses to local food access, farm, and nutrition issues; and

  *   Meet specific state, local or neighborhood food and agricultural needs including needs relating to:

     *   Equipment necessary for the efficient operation of a project;

     *   Planning for long-term solutions; or

     *   The creation of innovative marketing activities that mutually benefit agricultural producers and low-income consumers.

This grant program is NOT currently accepting applications, but this webinar is designed to help you think about the next RFA period.
