Appalachian Farm and Food Alliance (AFFA) received $119,945 through CareFirst’s Place-Based Grants Initiative to address food insecurity and related social determinants of health (SDoH) across Garrett and Allegany Counties, Maryland. The 2025 report covers year one of the three-year grant. Grant funds supported the purchase and distribution of fresh, locally grown produce sourced entirely from Western Maryland farmers through the Garrett Growers Cooperative.
