Protect Local Food Funding

"Congressional members are responding to our demands for permanent investments for local foods in local nutrition programs. We need your help to keep up the momentum and generate strong support in Congress!

Recently, two bills were introduced that would create permanent programs similar to popular local food purchase assistance programs. They would provide funding for all states, Tribes, and territories to purchase fresh produce, meat, dairy, eggs, and other nutritional locally grown products from farmers to distribute in food access programs. These programs are a win-win! Supporting local farmers while ensuring that our most vulnerable neighbors have food on their tables builds community resiliency.  

You can help us secure additional support by sending a quick email to your Congressional members."
