A
note on funding: FoodCorps is a grantee of AmeriCorps, a federally funding program.
We recognize that the current political situation is causing great uncertainty
for the continuity of federal programs such as FoodCorps. As of this posting,
FoodCorps is still a funded program. However, this situation may continue to
evolve over the coming year. We commit to being transparent with all applicants
as more information becomes available.
Best,
