City of Milwaukee accepting applications for new round of Fresh Food Access Grants

MILWAUKEE – The City of Milwaukee is launching the latest round of the Fresh Food Access Fund this week with new grants available to support healthy food initiatives in Milwaukee.

The Fresh Food Access Fund will provide a total of $100,000 to support for-profit and not-for-profit efforts that increase the availability of healthy food options in underserved areas. Applications for this round of grants must be submitted by 4 p.m. on Monday, May 27, 2024.

“The Fresh Food Access Fund is an effort to provide access to fresh food and nutritious options in underserved neighborhoods,” Mayor Cavalier Johnson said. “These grants create healthier lifestyles, and I look forward to expanding fresh food availability for Milwaukee residents.”  

Grants can go toward a range of initiatives that promote healthy food goals. The Fresh Food Access Fund is expected to draw grant applications that add and improve healthy food access at retail locations and not-for-profit agencies. In previous years, matching Fresh Food Access Fund grants were awarded to 48 different projects.
