Description
The Food Security Grant Program, administered by The Corella & Bertram F. Bonner Foundation, provides funding to religious and community-based organizations dedicated to hunger relief. The program’s primary focus is on supporting anti-hunger initiatives in New Jersey and in communities where Mr. and Mrs. Bonner have resided. Grants are used mainly for the purchase of food to address food insecurity at the local level. The initiative emerged from Mrs. Bonner’s longstanding commitment to community outreach and service through her church and local networks.
