Back to EpisodesConnecticut Grants $1.55M for Local Food Access
Description
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont allocates $1.55 million in state grants to twelve organizations, aiming to increase access to locally grown food for those facing hunger. Chrysalis Center in Hartford receives $60,000 to enhance their Freshplace pantry, stocking it with Connecticut-grown produce for low-income residents, including those without homes and formerly incarcerated individuals. The grants, part of the Local Food Purchase Assistance Grant Program, support better nutrition, strengthen farmer-community ties, and ensure the programs continuity following federal funding cuts.
