Food First NL has launched a Community Food Security Fund of $20,000 for community groups in Coast of Bays, Northern Peninsula and the south coast of Labrador.

The organization has been working with communities and organizations across the province to make sure residents have access to food.

They have watched rural, remote, northern and Indigenous communities take control of their food security needs.

Resources could include providing freezers for hunters and fishers or bulk ordering food at affordable prices.

We're thrilled to announce our new community food security fund, for groups in the Coast of Bays, Northern Peninsula, and the South Coast of Labrador who are looking to improve food security in their region. Application deadline, June 17th. https://t.co/YH0S97Pwf6
