Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter, with the support of the Board of Commissioners, recently announced $700,000 in food assistance grants to help eligible families access nutritious food as the prices of fruits, vegetables, milk, and other staples continue to rise.
“Our goal here is to reach any Oakland County resident struggling with food insecurity. We don’t want our families to scrimp on other essentials, like rent or utilities or medicines, so they can make sure they don’t go hungry.”

The county is also allocating $250,000 to the Double Up Food Bucks program, which doubles the money for fresh produce at farmers markets for people eligible for food assistance.
