  HUGE WIN FOR FARM TO FOOD ASSISTANCE!

  Posted by Hannah Quigley on October 1, 2024 at 1:05 PM

  Good afternoon everyone!

  I am writing with very exciting news. Today, Secretary Vilsack and USDA announced an additional $1.7 billion in funding for local food purchases. Specifically,

  • $500 million for LFPA
  • $500 million for Local Food in Schools
  • $200 million for a new, local food in child care facilities initiative
  • and $500 million for TEFAP

  You can read NSAC’s press release here. You can read USDA’s press here.

  THANK YOU for all the hard work each of you have done in dipping your toes into advocacy work or remaining persistent as we make the change we want to see in our federal food and farm systems. Please pass this gratitude down to your networks and partners.

  We expect more details in the coming months and I will be sure to share with this group.

  Hannah
