New: 10 Grants Supporting Food Assistance Programs
From gas to food, the cost of living is rising steeply, and the months ahead are unlikely to offer a break from the prices that are increasing due to inflation. Meanwhile, many Americans are looking for ways to ease the financial pressure on their household budgets. Consequently, underserved communities are being strongly impacted, with many unable to meet their basic nutritional and dietary needs.
Hunger is a national crisis, though it is often hidden. If you are an individual seeking food programs in your area, there are resources available. We recommend:
- USA.gov/food-help
- Nutrition.gov
- Or, reach out to nonprofit organizations in your local community.
Food assistance programs can help to provide basic protection against hunger for low-income Americans of all ages and household types. As a result, more grants and funding opportunities have become available to support food assistance programs and community food pantries. More than ever, nonprofits are able to offer help and provide relief for many families in need.
