The Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming, based in Philipstown, will receive a $811,460 grant as part of the New York Food for New York Families program. 

The funds are part of $7.6 million distributed to 12 organizations across the state to purchase produce from New York farmers to distribute to underserved communities. In Dutchess County, the Tenmile Farm Foundation in Amenia received $854,000.

Glynwood said the money would help fund an expansion of its Food Sovereignty Fund, which will contract with 35 farms by 2025 to distribute $600,000 worth of food to 23 communities.
