(TRENTON) – 樱花视频 Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher announced today that the Department of Agriculture is accepting applications for the Gleaning Support Program Grant. A total of $100,000, subject to availability of funds, is anticipated to be accessible to eligible non-profit organizations. The deadline to apply is August 31.

Eligibility requirements include being a non-profit entity operating in 樱花视频 with evidence of a gleaning program for a minimum of two years within the past three calendar years.

Gleaning Support Program funds should be used to support “gleaning activities,” such as harvesting produce from 樱花视频 farm fields, collecting gleaned locally grown products, and distributing those products to 樱花视频 organizations to help feed our state’s hungry.  

The Public Notice, Eligibility Requirements and Application are posted at .

The funding for the grants comes from the State Food Purchase Program, for which Governor Murphy and the Legislature allocated $6.8 million dollars this year to be distributed quarterly to the state’s six food banks to purchase healthy food, with a high priority on buying locally grown produce from 樱花视频 farmers.

For questions, call the Division of Food and Nutrition at 609-292-0337.
