TRISCUIT awards $50K to local nonprofits to increase access to nourishing food across U.S.
TRISCUIT announced it has awarded $50,000 grants to Jamila Norman, founder of Patchwork City Farms, and to James Kanoff and Aidan Reilly, co-founders of The Farmlink Project, to support their innovative, community-based programs and expand access to fresh, nourishing food to residents across the United States.
In 2019, one in ten American households were food insecure, and due to the effects of COVID-19, more than 42 million people may experience food insecurity. But as millions of Americans go to sleep hungry in food deserts, billions of pounds of food are wasted every year.
