Partners for Health will again providing matching grants to benefit local soup kitchens and food pantries, and this year will include organizations working to address homelessness. Individual gifts of $50 made by December 31, 2015 will be eligible for the program. Up to $125,000 in matching grants are available.
Participating programs include the Human Needs Food Pantry, Toni’s Kitchen, Salvation Army Montclair Citadel, St. Peter’s Haven in Clifton, and MORE TO COME
This matching grants program emerged from the Foundation’s Fight Hunger the Healthy Way campaign. The goals of the campaign are to raise awareness about the growing problem of hunger in suburban communities, and to inspire action on behalf of those who depend on emergency food programs. The program is also part of the Eat. Play. Live…Better community coalition of local partners who are working to increase access to healthy and affordable meals for residents of all ages and incomes.
