MOUNT VERNON — The Food For The Hungry Grant Application is opening early this year.
The Food For The Hungry of Knox County’s grant application process for the 2023 campaign opens Monday, Sept. 18 at 8 a.m. and will remain open until Saturday, Sept. 30 at noon.
Applications submitted after noon on Sept. 30 will not be accepted.
Each year, a portion of the funds raised during the FFTH Winter Drive is allocated to the Winter Grant recipients. The Winter Grants recipients are non-profit groups in Knox County that distribute food to those in need.
Grants are awarded with consideration of the number of people being served, the number of monthly volunteers involved, and other factors detailed in the application.
The grant application is located at FoodForTheHungryCares.org. The application link can be found on the home page or under the ‘Who We Help’ tab. Applications are due by Saturday, Sept. 30, 2023, at noon.
Grant awardees will be notified by Monday, Oct. 16, and announced the same day.
Grant recipients will be featured during the Food For The Hungry live-stream and radio broadcast on Friday, Dec. 8 at the Memorial Theater inside the Knox Memorial.
