Many of you are already familiar with the CRS Rice Bowl Grant program. These grants are funded by the annual CRS Rice Bowl campaign held each Lent, and assist parishes, schools and other communities carry out projects and programs that educate on and promote advocacy for issues concerning hunger and food.
Given the ongoing reality of increasing costs, we have made the decision to raise the total grant amount available for each applicant from the previously offered $500 to $1,000 per year. It is our hope that this larger grant can help more communities engage in much-needed food and hunger education, advocacy and action.
The grant application is included with this memo and can also be found here: https://archatl.com/ministries-services/justice-and-peace-ministries/programs/catholic-relief-services/
