Not-for-profit organisations, including schools and parish councils, are being invited to apply for grants of between £500 and £4,000 for food projects that improve the lives of young people in Yorkshire.
The Bettys and Taylors Family Fund has provided funding for the initiative, which opened for applications this week.
Organisations have until November 9 to submit bids.
Examples of eligible projects include cookery courses, food hygiene training and healthy eating initiatives.

The fund supports food schemes because food is key to the business of Bettys and Taylors of Harrogate.
The guidance notes for organisations interested in applying say the fund “actively encourages applications to include costs for overheads (staff, rent, equipment, utilities etc.) that the project will incur”.
Organisations from all of Yorkshire can submit bids to York-based Two Ridings Community Foundation, which is distributing the funding.
Schools can only bid for projects that fall outside their curricular activities.
Contact Two Ridings Community Foundation on 01904 929500 for further information.
