A total of 87 groups were selected, including food pantries, schools, churches, health clinics, and grassroots organizations. Their proposals focus on expanding school meal access, improving food distribution, and connecting residents with social services.
'We were blown away by the number of Kansas organizations that applied,' Lindsay Wilke, associate director at the Kansas Health Foundation, said in a statement. 'We're excited to see their ideas in action.'
Grant recipients will take part in a day-long Strategy Lab hosted by the Kansas Leadership Center on July 25 to help refine their plans. Groups can also receive up to $1,000 for travel.
