Grant Overview
Delaware's community gardens initiative is designed to promote healthy eating and nutrition education among low-income families. The state's high rates of obesity and diet-related health issues make this initiative a critical priority. By establishing partnerships with local schools and health organizations, the program implements hands-on gardening activities that teach sustainable farming and healthy cooking. Unlike neighboring states, Delaware's program prioritizes projects that target food deserts and underserved communities. The state's rural areas, including Kent and Sussex counties, are disproportionately affected by food insecurity. The program's focus on community gardens is critical, as it provides a sustainable and community-driven solution to these issues. By promoting healthy eating and nutrition education, the program contributes to a healthier and more resilient population in Delaware. Target Outcomes in Delaware.

Eligible applicants include local non-profits, schools, and community organizations. To be considered, applicants must demonstrate a clear understanding of the state's specific health needs and priorities. The application process requires a detailed proposal outlining the project's goals, objectives, and budget. A review committee will assess applications based on their potential impact, feasibility, and alignment with the program's priorities. Delaware's Food Landscape: A Closer Look.
