2022 Funding
In 2022, the UNFI Foundation awarded more than $1 million to 40 nonprofits across the United States to support our mission of building better food systems and nurturing everyday health.
"We believe everyone deserves access to fresh, healthy food. Through our grants, we’re making better food more accessible to more people across the U.S. and helping our children adopt healthy eating practices early in life. We are proud to be able to support these pioneering organizations in our communities." – Alisha Real, Executive Director
