MARQUETTE, MI— Marquette Area Public Schools recently received a grant to address food insecurity in the community.
The $2,000 came from the Farm Bureau Insurance of Michigan Agent Charitable Fund. The money will support the JJ Packs program and provide for the return of fresh fruit and bread for the weekend packs.
MAPS is one of 14 organizations throughout the state to receive a Feeding the Future Grant from the ACF in November. Organizations are nominated by a local Farm Bureau Insurance agent and selected by a committee of ACF donors based on the need of the organization, population being served, and overall goal of the program.
Presentation of the grant will take place at Marquette Alternative High School on January 31st at 11:20 a.m.
