The USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is offering a $5 million Hunger-Free Communities Collaborative Grant competition for Fiscal Year 2010. This grant is for the purpose of establishing hunger-free communities and identifying effective strategies to reduce hunger across the United States. This department is seeking to fund initiatives that align with the Hunger-Free Communities goals outlined by Congress. The available funds are exclusively for Hunger-Free Communities Collaborative Grants, distinct from infrastructure grants. Communities can apply for one of two grant models: planning and assessment grants, or implementation grants. This initiative aims to foster collaborative efforts to combat hunger nationwide.
