The Baker-Polito administration announced last week more than $13.2 million in grants to address food insecurity amid the COVID-19 pandemic. About $900,000 of that went to organizations and businesses on the SouthCoast.
“Our Administration is grateful to the food banks, nonprofits, schools and food producers who have stepped up this past year to make sure healthy food gets into the hands of Massachusetts residents, children and communities struggling with food insecurity,” said Gov. Charlie Baker in a statement.
On the SouthCoast, recipients included fish processors, farms and food pantries.
M&P Fishing Corporation, which owns F/V Fishermen, received $85,475 to help modernize its vessel with new technology that will increase efficiency while fishing and save on fuel costs, according to the press release.
