Deadline: 14-Jan-22
Applications are now open for the Food Assistance Flexible Funding Grants Program for strengthening and equipping the entire hunger relief network to meet current and emerging community needs.
COVID-19 brought incredible challenges to Washington’s hunger relief network (made up of 500+ food pantries, meal programs, and tribal organizations) and a rise in food insecurity. Thousands of families in Washington State are currently struggling to meet their nutritional needs.
Lessons of the pandemic are informing current strategies to equip their state’s hunger relief network and help meet the needs of their State. The Washington State Legislature has authorized new flexible funding to support innovative and creative solutions within the Washington hunger relief network, including this grant program.
