Co-sponsor the Farmers Feeding America Act (S. 2713 / H.R. 6203)

Please support farmers and help families access the food we all need to thrive by strengthening The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) through co-sponsoring the Farmers Feeding America Act (S. 2713 and H.R. 6203). This legislation would: - Double annual mandatory funding for TEFAP food purchases to help people facing hunger and support the U.S. agricultural economy. - Increase annual funding for TEFAP storage and distribution to $200 million to help food banks offset the rising costs of storing, transporting and distributing nutritious foods from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. - Establish alternative delivery options for commodities allocated to geographically isolated states. A strong agricultural sector that has deep partnerships with food banks and other emergency food assistance providers is essential to helping end hunger in the U.S. Co-sponsoring the Farmers Feeding America Act is an important stepping stone toward a future without food insecurity. Thanks!
