Bill > H4226

This bill establishes the Food Justice Frontline Program, which aims to fund non-profit organizations that provide land or jobs related to food production, distribution, preparation, or delivery to individuals living in overburdened communities with high pollution levels and low median household incomes. The program will provide grants of up to $500,000 to these non-profit organizations to quickly create food security jobs for residents of these communities. Additionally, the bill requires state agencies to increase public awareness of food assistance programs like SNAP and Healthy Incentives Program, and prioritize working with young people and residents of overburdened or low-income communities to promote these programs.
