Local Food Purchase Assistance (LFPA) Cooperative Agreement Program is sponsored by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This program aims to address nationwide hunger by enabling state agencies to purchase local farm products to distribute to food-insecure individuals.
In Connecticut, the Department of Agriculture administers these funds, which are then awarded to various entities, including food banks and community meal centers, to provide local produce to those in need. The program also focuses on strengthening local food supply chains and supporting small and socially disadvantaged producers.
Non-profits involved in food delivery and distribution, and those seeking to provide CT Grown products to underserved communities, are eligible.
