The Community Food Centres Canada (CFCC) is seeking applications for the Market Greens Grants Program to promote health and reduce diet-related disease risk, particularly for communities with greater barriers to healthy food access.
Market Greens grants support organizations to offer targeted produce prescriptions that can be redeemed at existing low-cost community markets, or new low-cost markets established under the grant; and, to contribute to the evidence on the impacts of healthy food access through program monitoring and evaluation.
The 2022 Market Greens Partner Grant round will provide funding and support to 15 community and health organizations across Canada to establish new non-profit produce markets and provide targeted financial support that can be used to buy fresh fruits and vegetables at the community markets.
