From the DEQ Materials Management December Newsletter

In December, DEQ awarded more than $600,000 in grant funding to 19 projects across the state.

These grants will help Oregon manage materials more sustainably, reducing environmental impacts while also creating jobs, feeding at-risk populations, and supporting home construction for low-income families.

This year DEQ gave focus points to preventing the wasting of food, and funded six of seven qualifying food-related applications.
