If you live in Newark, Irvington, Hillside or Elizabeth, you can apply to receive a Food Access Grant. FAG provide food planters to families at no cost. Our food planters have the capacity to grow upwards of 20-30 pounds of food per year when properly managed. Produce may include vegetables, fruits or culinary and medicinal herbs. Families not eligible for the Food Access Grant can purchase food planters, or raised bed for their home food cultivation needs. Food planters through our Food Access Grant are made possible by the contributions of our collaborators, organizers, volunteers, interns and people like you.
