The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded a $199,245 Farm to School Grant to the non-profit organization Pilot Light. This 2-year grant, beginning July 2023 and ending June 2025, will fund Pilot Light's implementation of farm to school programs to improve access to local foods in USDA Child Nutrition Programs. Pilot Light's work under this grant aligns with the objectives of the USDA's Farm to School Grant Program (CFDA 10.575), which aims to connect local farms with schools and provide agricultural education. In addition to this recent award, Pilot Light has received several other significant federal grants from the USDA in recent years to support their farm to school initiatives and agricultural education programs.
