Nebraska LFPA PLUS Executive Summary
The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) proposes sub-awarding $3,136,073 to the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation (NCFF) to create a collaborative network to focus on procuring food from local, small, and socially disadvantaged farmers & producers and distributing those farm products to Nebraskans who are underserved by traditional food distribution networks. This three-year project is designed to help small and socially disadvantaged producers sustainably grow their operations by creating predictable market demand during this economically turbulent time.
