Description
The Corella & Bertram F. Bonner Foundation’s Food Security Grant Program supports anti-hunger initiatives with a direct mission: to provide food for the hungry. Its grantmaking supports religious and community-based hunger relief programs, primarily in New Jersey, while also reaching communities where Mr. and Mrs. Bonner lived.
The program grew out of the Crisis Ministry Program, which began in 1989. Its origins reflect Mrs. Bonner’s experience organizing outreach through her church, first in Florida and later in New Jersey, to help local residents in need. That history continues to connect the program’s food security work with church outreach and community hunger relief.
