We are excited to share an incredible opportunity that continues to make a meaningful impact in our community. For its third year, the Washington County Food Access Improvement Fund, a collaborative initiative led by Mars Food & Nutrition North America, Delta Group, and the Community Foundation of Washington County, is now accepting applications for its third round of grants.
With an initial three-year commitment, the Fund aims to enhance access to nutritious food for residents in Washington County. From March 27 to May 2, 2025, we invite food pantries, faith-based institutions, and 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations to apply for funding to develop sustainable solutions to combat food insecurity. This year, we will award $50,000, and grant awards can range from $5,000 to $10,000 per organization, empowering local organizations to implement sustainable programs that ensure everyone in our community can access fresh and healthy food.
Darla Herrin, Community Foundation Executive Director; Terri Lane, Delta Group, Director of Human Resources and Marketing; & Rickey Adger, Mars Food & Nutrition Site Director, are available for interview to discuss how the fund will help pantries and non-profit organizations operate efficiently and serve the community more effectively.
