The purpose of the Healthy Refrigeration Grant Program is to improve access to healthy foods in underserved communities while promoting California-grown agriculture — through funding energy-efficient and climate-friendly refrigeration and freezer equipment in corner stores, small businesses, and food donation programs in low-income or low-food access areas throughout the state. The equipment is funded to stock California-grown fresh produce, nuts, eggs, meat and dairy products, as well as minimally processed and culturally appropriate foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eligible entities for this program include corner stores, small businesses, food donation programs and nonprofits working with eligible sites and\/or selling or donating food in low-income or low-access areas. Cities, counties, nonprofits or Tribal governments may also apply for equipment on behalf of eligible sites and may apply for up to 20% of total grant awards to provide technical assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RFA and registration for the informational webinars can be viewed on\u00a0the Healthy Refrigeration Grant Program webpage<\/a>. Stakeholders may submit comments by email to\u00a0cafarmtofork@cdfa.ca.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
