Donate - We've found an organization that can help!

The Council receives no city or county funding support. Funds are needed for general operating expenses, including staff time. The Council serves as the local food system hub of partners coordinating initiatives to decrease food insecurity, decrease food waste, increase access to local, healthy foods, and provide food skills and food safety education.

The FFC has established a donation fund with the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation (GMCF) to help sustain our initiatives:

Donate to Food and Farm Council of Riley County /Manhattan Fund | Greater Manhattan Community Foundation (mcfks.org)
