2024 Summer Grant Recipients
Because of the overwhelming generosity of Knox Countians during the 2023 FFTH Drive, reserve funds were set aside for Summer Grants. The grants prioritized food initiatives that supplement food for children and teens whose primary source of food is the free or reduced breakfast and lunch given to them during the school year. Other food programs were also encouraged to apply.
