COVID-19 Resources
This page was most recently updated on December 14, 2021. It should be noted that though many deadlines for opportunities listed have passed, these resources serve as important reference points for future aid and ongoing relief efforts in addition to serving as an archive.
As farmers and communities all across the country continue to deal with the impacts of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, NSAC is collecting resources from members, partners, and allies to help mitigate the challenges facing the food and farm system during this crisis. This page will be updated on an ongoing basis as we learn about new available resources. Click here for NSAC’s response to COVID-19 and list of relevant blog posts.
