White House adviser Ivanka Trump and Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue on Friday formally kicked off a new food distribution program that pairs struggling producers and families strongly impacted by the pandemic.
Billions of dollars worth of fruit, vegetables, and other farm products that might have gone to waste because of the pandemic will instead be delivered to food banks and nonprofits that serve the needy under a new U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) program called Farmers to Families Food Box.
