Let me guess. Food banks exclusively located in evangelical private schools and churches, or maybe "pregnancy crisis centers".

60 million dollars of food left yo rot in Nation's food banks

The same people that allowed warehouses of food to spoil rather than hand it out? And cut funding to food banks? And destroyed millions of biscuits rather than give to people of the “wrong” ethnicity?

1/3 of one lunch... I feel the winning.

This is a farm to schools program that was cut in the BBB. A lot of small local farms changed up to support this program under Trump 1 and Biden.

Trump 2 cut it.

I have an idea. How about we not crash the fucking economy so people don't need handouts and farmers don't need to sell to food banks because they can sell to consumers directly?

What a smashing idea. I'm a motherfucking genius.

Oh wow, 60 whole million dollars. Such a big win for MAHA 🙄

That was what USAID and SNAP and school lunches were doing for farmers but they were running at a much more reliable scale. He’s literally just trying to take credit for a fraction of what was already in place for years

And they want you to THANK THEM for it.

"Here's 6% of what we clawed back. Now, beg for it. What's that, blue states? You didn't kiss our asses hard enough? NO FOOD FOR YOU!"

Screw the lot of them.

This is another fake "win' for the MAHA crowd designed to make them *seem* like they're doing something without actually doing anything (new).

See, food banks already DID THIS. They were already giving out 'real, healthy food'. I know, I've used food banks before, I've gotten plenty of such stuff.

Isn't that what USAID helped with??

They could adequately feed all the people they kidnapped, but health codes say it needs to be pasteurized

Where it will rot because many people don't have the means to store and time to prepare.

This was literally part of the whole strategy with WIC.

Nor creative. Nor easy to hide. He’s a textbook flimflam man.

They think it's a win to have to go to a food bank?

According to food bank.org, 43 million people rely on Food Banks. That $1.40 per person. That will go far. Sarcastic Emoji.

And they claim to hate socialism. 🙄

Trump should personally bail these farmers out, not we taxpayers!

It's not that they clawed back billions and expect you to thank them for returning millions. It's not that they're picking & choosing from states & loyalists to whom to give those millions.

It's that they're then going to harangue you because you availed yourself of it.

It will probably cost more than the SNAP cuts.

I still can’t come to terms with the fact that the guy who once got a brainworm from screwing around with roadkill and who famously used heroin as a study aid to get through college is currently running HHS.

We used to buy food from farmers and send it to schools and food banks but they cut that so now I guess they decided it was a good idea.

That boils down to a little over $1 per person who relies on a food bank for assistance.

Most food drives Ive been involved with requested money (and provided greater points to the team for money) because the food banks could manage the actual food side of things very efficiently…

Because, as a country, we are that fucking poor
