Community Food Assistance Grant Program
These funds ensure continuity of essential community food assistance services while closing service gaps, enhancing program impact, standardizing data collection, increasing flexibility and transparency in funding processes, and strengthening both the provider network and the resilience of the local food system.
FY25 Community Food Assistance Grant Program
The FY25 Community Food Assistance (CFA) Grant Program awarded $3,699,500 across 49 food assistance provider organizations to support the purchase and distribution of shelf-stable, fresh food, and/or prepared meals to Montgomery County residents on a monthly or more frequent basis in zip-codes throughout the County.
