The Gorge Community Foundation’s board of directors has announced that 2020 grants from the Joan Burchell Fund will be dedicated to addressing issues of food insecurity throughout the Columbia River Gorge exacerbated by the necessary response to the coronavirus pandemic. Foundation Executive Director Jill Burnette says it is a one-time decision to help communities protect their most vulnerable citizens. Organizations that provide meals or access to safe, healthy food for children, families and seniors are invited to apply for funding. Application information is available at gorgecf.org. Applications are due by April 15. Total funds available in this grant cycle is $13,340 and proposals will be accepted for any amount up to that total.
