After recent federal budget cuts to the USDA TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program), the Farm to Table Fund provides critical financial resources and enables Nourish Up to purchase the vital fresh food these cuts have eliminated.
Nourish Up’s Farm to Table fund also aims to:
- Purchase fresh vegetables from local farmers and farmers markets
- Reduce food insecurities and hunger through the distribution of vegetables through grocery programs
- Provide education and promote wellness and healthy eating habits
- Provide cooking instruction to encourage healthy eating behaviors
- Offer other services that have a nutritional focus and are intended to improve the health and well-being of people served through Nourish Up
- Cover overhead and necessary supplies needed to administer such programs
