Grants and Loans through the Healthy Food Financing Program now available

Applications are now open for grants and loans through the Oklahoma Healthy Food Financing Program.

This is a brand new program aiming to create or improve a retail food location in areas with low access to fresh foods and a low-income population.

These projects could include but are not limited to the construction of new grocery stores; construction of small food retailers; or grocery store or small food retailer renovations, expansions, and infrastructure upgrades that improve the availability and quality of fresh produce and other healthy food.

Proposals for each project may be submitted as either a loan or grant at any time before each deadline. Grants are capped at $10,000, while loans are not limited to a dollar amount. 

For more information, reach out to program coordinator, Jason Harvey. He can be reached at 405-606-1477 or [email protected] to assist or answer questions about the program prior to submission of applications.

Applications and additional information can be found here.

The Oklahoma Healthy Food Financing Program is administered by the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry.
