The Endowment has ended its grant to New Hanover County for the Northside Food Co-op project, given the many ongoing changes in the project’s scope, design, and location.
The Endowment’s commitment to food security in the Northside community remains unchanged. The Endowment will continue to explore ways to support the design and development of viable food access solutions in the Northside, and collaborate with community partners, including Growing Resilience, which is the non-profit organization that is spearheading the Northside neighborhood effort.
Given the dynamic conditions, the Endowment will reassess how best to deploy grant funds to advance food access in the community.
