Healthy Food Financing Initiative Awards Nearly $3 Million Through Food Access and Retail Expansion (FARE) Fund

Grants Will Provide One-Time Investments to Projects Increasing Food Access in 14 Rural,
Urban, and Tribal Communities.

We're excited to share that The Scale House Market has been awarded $250,000 in
grant funding through the 2024-2025 HFFI FARE Fund administered by Reinvestment
Fund. The HFFI FARE Fund investment will complement the ongoing national HFFI
program, which addresses the complexity of food access in communities across
America. The purpose of HFFI is to support food supply chain resiliency, improve
access to healthy foods in underserved areas, create and preserve quality jobs, and
revitalize low-income communities. These projects will serve urban, rural, and tribal
communities across 14 states.

"America’s HFFI continues to expand and support local solutions that provide access
to healthy food,” said Don Hinkle-Brown, President and CEO of Reinvestment Fund.
“With its expansion over the next five years, we can deepen our impact; strengthening
local economies and community infrastructure.”

We're excited to be part of this transformative effort and are committed to making a
lasting impact on food access and community well-being. A complete list of projects
funded through the HFFI 2024-2025 HFFI FARE Fund is available at
