A local program that aims to increase community involved solutions to address food insecurity was launched this week.
The 2021 Neighborhood Food Champions chosen for the program will receive training and mentorship to develop a food access project. The proposals from 15 recipients include gardens, pantries and farming initiatives. Participants will receive $2,000 to start their projects.
This year’s program is broken up into two parts and includes four Neighborhood Food Builders, participants who have previous experience in the food system.
The effort to strengthen local food systems with targeted neighborhood solutions started in 2017. The Indianapolis City-County Council recently increased the program’s funding to $70,000.
