The COVID-19 pandemic has hit restaurants harder than almost any other industry in New Jersey.
The New Jersey Economic Development Authority is awarding $14 million in grants to 27 organizations through its Sustain & Serve NJ program.
The program provides grants of $100,000 to $2 million to organizations such as homeless shelters, soup kitchens, hospitals, foundations and food pantries. Those organizations will use the NJEDA grants to make bulk purchases of meals from local restaurants. Those meals will be distributed for free to those in need, including homebound seniors, first responders and those going hungry.
With $14 million in funding, the awardees will purchase more than 1.5 million meals from 160 restaurants across the state.
