Unique Opportunities
The idea for GRUB was originated by Roy Riddle, Gerre Sears, and Tom and Nancy Beck on a return trip from the American Community Gardening Association conference in approximately 1998.
The South Plains Food Bank applied for and was awarded a USDA Community Food Projects grant in 2000 for $150,000. http://www.csrees.usda.gov/nea/food/pdfs/cfp_2003_annrpt.pdf (see page 65)A Criminal Justice Division Grant from the State of Texas was also awarded to the City of Lubbock and the South Plains Food Bank for the GRUB Program.
