Action Opportunity for LFPA / LFS
hello everyone!
A few weeks ago we mentioned a sign-on opportunity for a stakeholder letter that will be delivered to Secretary Rollins in response to USDA’s decision to terminate previously announced 2025 funding for the Local Food Purchase Assistance (LFPA) and Local Food for Schools and Child Care (LFSCC) Programs.
This letter is now live: https://forms.gle/sx3EtPwCMMNV4Hr56
It is imperative that Secretary Rollins understands the significant role these programs play in strengthening local food systems, the urgent need for fresh, healthy foods in schools and community settings, and the impact that a termination will have.
This letter is limited to signatures from (1) State and Tribal entities, (2) organizations that have led or been directly involved in program implementation, (3) producers and businesses that have sold into either LFPA or LFS, and (4) national and statewide advocacy organizations that directly represent farmers, businesses and food banks impacted by the termination.
If you don’t know whether you fit into one of these categories after reviewing the form, feel free to reach out to me directly! [email protected]
