KHF Awards Mini Grant to Wichita Library Foundation

The Kansas Health Foundation awarded the Library Foundation a $5,000 grant to support the Angelou Community Garden and Seed Bank project.

The Wichita Library Foundation was one of 87 nonprofit organizations selected to receive a mini grant to fund projects to combat hunger and food insecurity.

The grants total $423,685 and are part of a mass action campaign the Kansas Health Foundation (KHF) launched in April to advance the work of its Hunger Free Kansas initiative.

Hunger Free Kansas was created by the Kansas Health Foundation as a way for organizations to collaborate and work toward a shared goal of ending hunger in Kansas.

We were blown away by the number of Kansas organizations that applied to get involved in this endeavor and are excited to see their experimental solutions implemented to make progress on food insecurity,” said Lindsay Wilke, associate director of network mobilization for the Kansas Health Foundation.
