National Food Bank Day falls on the first Friday of September every year. This year, GrantWatch<\/a><\/strong> is celebrating the day by discussing food insecurity and highlighting some grants available to help the organizations that are standing up for this issue. Food insecurity is a major problem in the United States. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 34 million people, including 9 million children, in the country are food insecure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is food insecurity a national issue, but it is a global issue as well, impacting nearly 10 percent of the world\u2019s population. The organization, Action Against Hunger, notes that the number of undernourished people even grew by as many as 150 million from 2019 to 2021. While there are federal nutrition programs, many families do not meet the qualifications for this assistance, which leads them to seek help from food banks, nonprofits, or other organizations. However, to keep these organizations running, it is essential that these programs get the funding they need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grants are a great way to obtain this additional funding because they do not have to be paid back. GrantWatch has a category specifically for nutrition and food grants<\/a><\/strong> with more than 540 grants currently accepting applications. Using GrantWatch, you can also find a list of foundations<\/a><\/strong> that have funded nutrition and food programs in the past. Below, are 10 of the top food insecurity grants in honor of National Food Bank Day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
