30 New Grant Awards Given to US Charitable Organizations to Fight Hunger

"The program will allow countless hungry people, who might not have otherwise been fed, to receive food aid this year, which we and our partners can be proud of," Borns added.

Throughout the world, IFRP grant recipients use the funds and food commodities for a variety of projects aimed at enhancing food security. In Haiti, for example, Convoy of Hope (COH) will target thousands of malnourished people to provide temporary sustenance and on-going health and nutrition education. Halfway across the world in Uzbekistan, the Resource and Policy Exchange (RPX) uses a grant to feed thousands of disabled children, the elderly and those suffering from multi-drug resistant forms of tuberculosis.
