Feeding the hungry may sound like work, but restaurants, volunteers and recipients that participated in the state s first Sustain and Serve grant program say they are ready to sign up for Phase II this month.
The New Jersey Economic Development Authority is now taking applications through July 18 for $10 million in grants for preparing meals and transporting and distributing them to people who are food-insecure.
The program is receiving raves from agencies, restaurants, volunteers and pantries that took part in the first round.
Aid The Hungry Inc/Soupkitchen411 secured one of only three $2 million grants issued by the authority in the first round. It serves 27 towns in 10 counties, including Bergen, Essex and Morris.
