The senators say the grant — awarded to the Portland-based group, Cultivating Community by the U.S. Department of Agriculture — will fund a project designed to help immigrants who are socially disadvantaged or have limited resources.

More than $18 million in grants was handed out nationally through the program that seeks to support new generations of farmers.
