Ivanka Trump visits Farmers to Families Food Box site in North Carolina When the pandemic struck, the Trump Administration went to work quickly designing a program to protect the food security of vulnerable American families. The result was the Department of Agriculture’s Farmers to Families Food Box program. Today, Ivanka Trump and Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue traveled to Raleigh to visit the North Carolina State Farmers Market. The market accepts Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards that use government funds to help those most in need—another effort by this Administration to connect fresh produce from local farmers to low-income families. “With over 100 million meals delivered to date, the Farmers to Families Food Box Program continues to serve and innovate in remarkable ways to feed our nation’s most vulnerable,” Ms. Trump said. “By making this technology available through USDA, we are enabling those most in need access to fresh, locally sourced meat, dairy, and produce for their families.”
President Trump announced an additional $1 billion for the program in August. 📖 How President Trump took action to protect America’s food supply! |
