The AGRI Farm to School Rapid Response Grant for Schools was a one-time program in 2020 to provide financial assistance to school districts to begin, diversify, and expand purchasing from Minnesota producers during the COVID-19 pandemic (summer and fall of 2020). We also offered a rapid response grant for food vendors.
Between these two programs, we awarded 39 grants for a total of $157,196 in CARES Act funds: three to farms and 36 to school districts.
