HOUGHTON — The Western UP Food Systems Collaborative (WUPFSC) announced the creation of community mini-grants, made possible by the recently received Better Food Policy Fund award. There are two types of mini-grants to which community groups or individuals can apply.

• Knowledge Exchange Mini-Grant

• Community Building Mini-Grant.

WUPFSC has allocated $10,000 for each of the mini-grant programs, with an average of $500-$1,000 for each award.
