Overview

Newark Fresh, Healthy Food Access Grant

In 2017, we launched the Newark Fresh, Healthy Food Access Grant program with the help of our founder Whole Foods Market. This grant’s goal is to grow the local food system and improve community health across all five wards in Newark.

Here’s how it works: Newark-led organizations with fresh, healthy food access and nutrition education projects are invited to apply for funding between $5,000 and $20,000.

We prioritize food access work by locally driven nonprofits that reflect and engage the Newark community. Our grant partners have included community gardens, urban farms, farmers’ markets, mobile markets, healthy cooking classes, agriculture skills development programs, and other initiatives advancing healthy food access.
