Funding from LFPA Plus will add a third year to our current two-year program and increase the quality and diversity of produce supplied to underserved communities. We will continue to deliver monthly fresh food boxes to 100 households in need of food in our remote, rural community. We anticipate purchasing an additional 6,000 pounds of local produce and an additional 2,400 pounds of local meat. Totaling 17,000 pounds of local produce and 6,800 pounds of local meats purchased through this program, a significant increase in local food consumption for recipients and income for local farmers. We will also purchase more quality produce; the previous rate has been limiting options due to inflation and supply chain related costs adjustments.
