The NH Department of Agriculture, Markets & Food (NHDAMF) will collaborate with the NH Food Bank (NHFB) and its partners on the expansion of NH Feeding NH. NHDAMF will subaward procurement activities for this grant to the NHFB, which will use its NH Feeding NH program to distribute funds to its network of more than 400 partner agencies. The agencies, in turn, will purchase food from at least 170 identified producers, of whom at least 51% are socially disadvantaged.

The RI Department of Environmental Management will subcontract with Farm Fresh Rhode Island, who will in turn partner with Southside Community Land Trust, the African Alliance of RI, and the RI Food Policy Council to meet the following objectives, in alignment with the goals of the LFPA Program.
