Do you want a new chicken coop?

This summer, Just Food's City Chicken Project, with the support of Heifer International, can build you a new chicken coop and give you chickens for your garden.

Who can apply:
Community groups of 8 or more people can apply for this grant.  Individuals may not apply.  The community group must be located in NYC and must have enough outdoor space for hens (8 square feet per hen). Preference will be given to groups who plan to use the eggs to feed their community, and to groups that are located in neighborhoods that have fewer ways to get fresh, local food.
