Announcing the FY25 TKPK Food Insecurity Reduction Grant Recipients!
Congratulations to the following organizations to whom the City awarded Food Insecurity Reduction grants:
- Adventist Community Services
- Crossroads Community Food Network
- Community Food Forest Collective
- CHEER
- EduCare Support Services
- Enterprise Community Development
- Meals on Wheels
- Small Things Matter
- So What Else
These organizations will be funded to execute a range of projects that work to reduce and eliminate food insecurity among Takoma Park residents. Some awarded projects distribute food directly to individuals and families through schools and apartment buildings, to the home-bound, to expectant and new mothers, and through building connections between communities in need and small groceries providing culturally-appropriate food. Others work to build sustainable community-based sources of food and to empower residents to start and grow their own food businesses. The proposed programs exemplified the range of creativity and of tools that can be used to address this growing issue right here at home, and the City looks forward to sharing stories of the good work to be accomplished by the new grantees.
