$100K Set For St. Vincent de Paul Place

View this email in your browser Dear Neighbor, Governor Ned Lamont's administration is releasing $1.55 million in state grants to 12 entities – including food pantries, community health centers, and nonprofits – for the purposes of purchasing healthy Connecticut Grown products from local farms for distribution to food-insecure populations. The grants are being released through the Connecticut Department of Agriculture’s Local Food Purchase Assistance Grant Program. The program aims to increase access to locally grown, healthy food for those in need while also supporting Connecticut farmers and the state’s overall agricultural economy. St. Vincent de Paul Place in Norwich is to receive $100,000. St. Vincent de Paul Place will provide Connecticut-grown food through its pantry and meal programs to thousands of individuals and families across southeastern Connecticut, including seniors, children, and households facing economic hardship. Many thanks to Governor Lamont and his administration for the boost that will help our community. As always, if I can be of assistance, please reach out to me at 860-240-8585 or email me at Derell.Wilson@cga.ct.gov. Sincerely, Derell Wilson State Representative  Want to change how you receive these emails? You can update your preferences or unsubscribe from this list.
