Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley Awards First Round of Food Security Grants - CFOV Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley Awards First Round of Food Security Grants POSTED ON October 28, 2025 WHEELING, W. Va.
– The Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley (CFOV) has awarded the first round of grants from its newly established Food Security Fund , distributing $62,850 to 12 nonprofit organizations working to combat hunger and improve access to nutritious food across the Upper Ohio Valley. The primary focus of this round of grants was on improving access to fresh foods such as meat, dairy, and produce.
Launched earlier this year with an initial commitment of $100,000 , the Food Security Fund was created to support local nonprofits ensuring individuals and families have consistent access to adequate, healthy food.
The fund provides quick, flexible support for programs such as food pantries, weekend backpack initiatives, and other food access efforts throughout CFOV’s eight-county service area: Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall, Tyler, and Wetzel counties in West Virginia, and Belmont and Jefferson counties in Ohio. “Food insecurity is one of the most pressing issues facing our region,” says Executive Director of CFOV Susie Nelson.
“This first round of Food Security Fund grants represents a collaborative effort to help our neighbors meet their most basic needs. We’re proud to stand alongside these organizations that are working to make a difference every day.
