Description
The Arkansas Community Foundation’s Food Security Grants program funds projects aimed at reducing food insecurity and increasing access to healthy, locally grown foods across Arkansas. The initiative supports efforts that build a resilient local food system, moving beyond emergency food provision to address long-term access, nutrition, affordability, safety, and community-centered approaches. Grants are awarded through local affiliate offices as part of the annual Giving Tree grant cycle, with priorities set by local advisory committees based on community needs.
