[Hope, NJ] – [April 2025] – The Foodshed Alliance, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening
sustainable farming and increasing food access, is facing an unprecedented funding crisis due
to a federal grant freeze.
To keep local farms thriving, ensure families have access to fresh, healthy food, and sustain
critical food security programs, the organization has launched an
emergency GoFundMe campaign: https://www.gofundme.com/f/foodshed-alliance-urgent-
fundraising.
For nearly two decades, we’ve relied on federal grants to run programs that directly support
small farmers, distribute fresh food to families in need, and rescue surplus produce from going
to waste. Now, due to circumstances beyond our control, we are expected to uphold these
commitments without the financial support promised to us. Without immediate community
action, these essential programs are at risk.
What’s at Stake?
● Farmers Losing Land & Market Access – Without support, small farms may not
survive, affecting local food production.
● Families Losing Access to Fresh Food – Our free pop-up markets and food pantry
partnerships may be scaled back, leaving shelves empty.
● Gleaning Initiative at Risk – Thousands of pounds of farm-fresh food could go to waste
instead of feeding those in need.
How You Can Help
The Foodshed Alliance is calling on the community to rally behind this fundraiser to bridge the
funding gap while seeking long-term solutions. Every dollar raised will go directly toward
keeping farmland in production, ensuring families continue receiving fresh food, and sustaining
programs that support a healthy local food system.
