The Emergency Food Program General Infrastructure Grant

The Emergency Food Program Infrastructure Grant was authorized by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008.  It is a competitive grant program that provides funds to improve and expand the infrastructure needs of emergency feeding organizations (EFO) that participate in the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP).  There are two grant solicitations, one for EFOs that serve rural areas and one for all EFOs.  Information about the TEFAP Rural Infrastructure Grant can be found here.

These grants will help EFOs to implement, improve, and expand their infrastructure activities and projects, including developing computerized systems for tracking time-sensitive food products; improving the distribution of perishable foods (such as fresh fruits and vegetables); rescuing prepared, unserved food; identifying donors, new EFOs, and eligible recipients; and improving facilities and equipment.
