Creates a national system to deliver surplus food to communities in need.
This bill would create a national system to gather and deliver extra food to people and communities that need it. The U.S. Department of Agriculture would run this system and offer grants to local groups that rescue food. This means more leftover food from farms and stores could reach food banks and hungry families.
Today, there is no national system or specific grant program under the Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1983 for food rescue. If this bill passes, the Secretary of Agriculture would create and run a national system to coordinate food recovery and distribution. It would also set up a grant program to fund food rescue organizations and their partners.
