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.
