UNFI Foundation Announces Over $1M in Grant Funding
United Natural Foods, Inc. announced the UNFI Foundation has awarded more than $1 million in grant funding to improve food systems in more than 40 communities across the United States and Canada. Food access is a key pillar of UNFI’s Better for All initiative and, for the third consecutive year, the UNFI Foundation has committed over $1 million to non-profit organizations to help create equitable food access in vulnerable communities.
The UNFI Foundation’s grant funding is awarded to non-profit organizations that align with the Foundation’s three primary focus areas: increasing the supply of organic food, improving access to healthy food for vulnerable populations and advancing childhood nutrition education. After a competitive application process, organizations’ requests are reviewed by regional teams of UNFI associates who put forth the impressive collection of organizations to be recognized.
