Healthy Food Kickstarter ARP Program
The Healthy Food Kickstarter (Kickstarter) ARP Program has officially launched. Kickstarter program will provide grants of $20,000 (new projects) or $200,000 (expansion of existing projects) to non-profits and private/for-profit enterprises to support projects that provide affordable, fresh, healthy food options to the County’s most food insecure communities in order to strengthen and contribute to a more equitable, post-pandemic food distribution system. Kickstarter aims to address and alleviate historic food insecurity further compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic in Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) populations, low to moderate income individuals and families, and those living in County-identified Target Communities.
