Hi Joahnna,
I've been a part of a couple companion animal-focused organizations that received the grants below (or similar ones that are no longer available) to cover food for events. One of the companion animal organizations I'm currently affiliated with adopted a vegetarian policy for all their events as a result of funding like this.
Animal Place Vegan Event Grants - The Vegan Event Grant is a one-time reimbursement of food costs up to $1,000 for your organization's first fully vegan event.
Menus for Change Plant-based Event Grants - The Plant-Based Event Grant provides up to $1,000 to help cover food costs for your organization's first fully plant-based event. (Applications are currently closed)

Subject: Grants to feed volunteers?
Has anyone ever applied for and/or received a grant to help feed volunteers at a specific event? I need to provide lunch to approximately 25 people per day for 3 days, so I'm looking for probably about $750-$1,000. My local community is not helpful in that regard.
