Last week the federal government announced the termination of Local Food Purchase Assistance (LFPA), a program that supported historically underserved farmers by distributing thousands of pounds of produce to low-income communities and schools. Cultivating Community, New Roots Cooperative, and Somali Bantu Community Association’s Liberation Farms collectively lost $225,000 that helped more than 50 immigrant and refugee farmers build livelihoods and food sovereignty.

We’re seeking $225,000 in donations so that our programs will make it through the 2025 growing season, continuing to provide vital food access to impacted communities and paying immigrant farmers fair wages for their produce.
