Subject: Child/Youth Welfare, Health, Nutrition, Food Access
Deadline: May 5, 2017
“First Nations recognizes that accessing healthy food is a challenge for many Native American children and families. For many Native children, meals provided by their school or nonprofit service provider, or through a take-home food program, may be the most consistent and/or nutritionally-balanced food they receive. The project’s two-fold goal is to support 10 Native American, community-based feeding programs in at least three states serving Native children aged 6-14, and to learn from these and other models about best practices, challenges, barriers to success, systemic and policy issues affecting Native children’s hunger, and foster partnerships among programs.”
Funder: First Nations Development Institute and the Walmart Foundation
