Nourishing Newark Grant

Newark is opening up its grant program to accomodate for those that are trying to increase access to food and produce fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs - that's what we have been talking about all year long. So let's take a look at some projects we can do to both help improve our school meals and get other students actually eat their school meals, while also helping our community.
