2024 Cornerstone Grant Recipient: Feeding Northeast Florida (FNEFL)
The Charitable Foundation of the Energy Bar Association (CFEBA) has selected Feeding Northeast Florida as the 2024 Cornerstone Grant Recipient, awarding the organization $50,000 to support the installation of solar electric infrastructure designed to reduce food bank utility costs and provide resiliency in the face of natural disasters.
Feeding Northeast Florida
Feeding Northeast Florida (FNEFL) is a 501(c)3 charitable organization whose mission is to solve hunger in Northeast Florida. The large regional food bank serves hundreds of communities across 12-counties in Florida. FNEFL’s solar energy project reflects a green initiative to lower food bank energy costs, enabling reallocation of funds to food purchase additional food. The projected energy cost savings from this project will allow the organization to provide an additional 90,000 meals annually to those in need.
Food insecurity is a challenge facing many communities across the country, and organizations like Feeding Northeast Florida are on the front lines meeting this challenge. The CFEBA Cornerstone Grant will help Feeding Northeast Florida provide an additional 90,000 meals each year, and the new solar infrastructure will help make the food bank more resilient when faced with natural disasters.
