Grants available for gleaning organizations from NJDA

The New Jersey Department of Agriculture is currently accepting applications for the “Gleaning Support Program Grant.”

A total of $100,000, subject to availability of funds, is anticipated to be accessible to eligible non-profit organizations.

Eligibility requirements include being a non-profit entity operating in New Jersey with evidence of a gleaning program for a minimum of two  years within the past three calendar years.

Gleaning Support Program funds should be used to support “gleaning activities.” This means gleaning the local New Jersey farm fields, collecting such gleaned locally grown products and distributing such gleaned locally grown products to New Jersey organizations to help feed our state’s hungry. 

The Public Notice, Eligibility Requirements and Application are posted here www.nj.gov/agriculture/grants/gleaninggrants.html.
