AfriThrive, a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to combating food insecurity in African immigrant communities, is thrilled to announce that its Mobile Food Pantry Program has been selected once again as a beneficiary of Giant Food’s Community Bag Program for November 2024.
AfriThrive is excited to announce that it has been awarded funding as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBGP). The Maryland Department of Agriculture will fund six projects this year, including AfriThrive’s initiative that focuses on cultivating, preserving, and increasing demand for culturally significant African specialty crops, including pumpkin leaves, African nightshades (Managu), and Spider leaves (Saga).
