AUSTIN, Texas — The City of Austin has given 25 local organizations grants to help fight food injustice around the city.

The Office of Sustainability has awarded $3,000 to each of the 25 organizations to help reduce food injustice, which will allow more residents to have access to food.

These grants are part of the Food Justice Mini Grants program started in 2020 to provide funding for projects and programs to help build change around how food gets to the people that need it.

“I’m so inspired by the work being done in our community to create a more just and local food system,” said Lucia Athens, the City’s chief sustainability officer. “When it comes to addressing food-related inequities, these organizations are leading the way.” 

A complete list of the organizations that were awarded for the summer of 2023 are listed below:
