But in recent weeks, many food banks learned that the shipments they had expected to receive this spring had been suspended.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Vince Hall, chief of government relations for Feeding America, a nationwide network of over 60,000 food pantries and other distributors, said that when he asked U.S.D.A. officials about the suspended shipments, he was told that the department was reviewing the food aid programs funded through the Commodity Credit Corporation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was unclear whether the review was related to the activities of Elon Musk\u2019s DOGE team, which has sought to curtail spending across the government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The halt to the funds, which was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2025\/03\/19\/usda-halts-deliveries-food-banks-trump-00239453\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">first reported by Politico,<\/a> comes in addition to other recent cuts to federal food assistance. Earlier this month, the Agriculture Department halted <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/13\/business\/farmers-food-bank-budget-cuts.html\" title=\"\">two other programs<\/a> that distributed food to banks and schools. Lawmakers are also <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/25\/us\/politics\/mike-johnson-budget-resolution-vote.html\" title=\"\">mulling cuts<\/a> to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, better known as food stamps, which were used by about 42 million people in the 2023 fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Food bank directors fear that an across-the-board contraction to federal food assistance could drive more people to food banks just as they are losing access to critical supplementary funds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis is perhaps the first moment in the history of food banking that we have seen record low unemployment and record high demand at food banks,\u201d Mr. Hall said. \u201cAny circumstance that would cause even a modest increase in demand at food distributions will result in a food crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Representatives of the Agriculture Department did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Hall said that Feeding America had struggled to get clear guidance from U.S.D.A. about how long the review will take, and whether the funds would ever be restored. Food banks have been left with little time to identify new funds and supplies, and with no assurance that the aid would ever be restored.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the meantime, Mr. Hall added, rural communities would most likely feel the deepest immediate impact. Emergency food assistance programs, including those funded through the Commodity Credit Corporation, are \u201cthe food lifeline for rural America,\u201d he explained, because they come with funding to improve food storage and distribution, which can be more challenging in rural areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The direct impact to communities across the country is likely to vary by state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s really hard to make up that volume that C.C.C. had been providing, especially at a time when the need is so great,\u201d said Danny Faccinetti, vice president of Oregon Food Bank, which is expecting to lose access to 30 truckloads of food under the freeze.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Oregon\u2019s food banks reported a 31 percent increase in use of their services in the 2024 fiscal year, which ended in June, compared with the year before. In late 2024, the funds in question made up 18 percent of all food aid they had distributed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a really, really big hit for certain areas,\u201d Mr. Faccinetti continued, adding: \u201cWe\u2019re already maximizing some of the donations that were available to us, so it would be difficult to make that up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Maryland, food bank officials were notified that the U.S.D.A.\u2019s freeze would deprive them of 12 truckloads of items like chicken, eggs, collard greens and blueberries. They are expecting to have four additional shipments frozen as well, for a total of almost $1.3 million in lost goods. But they seem relatively certain they will be able to weather the immediate impact of that cut without having to shortchange the approximately one million people who rely on their distribution centers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In nearby Virginia, however, Eddie Oliver, the executive director of the Federation of Virginia Food Banks, said one food bank lost a scheduled shipment of seven loads of food, accounting for about a third of what the food bank was expecting this year through the Emergency Food Assistance Program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s going to be hard for us to replace that,\u201d he said, noting the current economic climate. \u201cCollectively, Virginia food banks are spending five times more money on food than we did in 2019, both because of higher food prices and greater demand at our pantries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Cynthia D. Kirkhart, the chief executive of Facing Hunger food bank, which manages about 250 pantries in West Virginia, put the losses her state is facing in more quantifiable terms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cOne thousand fifty cases of cheese; boned chicken by the can, 600 cases; fresh milk, 1,200 cases \u2014 all that stuff\u2019s not coming,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In New Mexico, food bank officials are also doing some fast calculations in order to weather the unexpected suspension of federal assistance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Food bank administrators there are bracing for missing 24 truckloads of food, including milk, cheese, cranberries and meats, that they had expected to receive between April and June. Officials are contemplating canceling contracts for future food purchases in order to free up funds needed immediately, according to Sonya Warwick, the communications director for Roadrunner Food Bank, part of the Feeding America network.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">New Mexico\u2019s network of food pantries includes several rural areas that are experiencing significant food insecurity, Ms. Warwick said, citing places like McKinley County, which includes tribal land and has a large Native American population, and where more than 30 percent of children are at risk of hunger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While the state has allocated some extra funds for food aid, it is not enough to meet the growing need amid dwindling resources, Ms. Warwick added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cNone of us have crystal balls, but what we can do is encourage the community to get involved and get engaged,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If they cannot find resources through private donors, some food banks worry that they may need to cut back on the assistance they can offer the needy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cEssentially, we had anticipated receiving many truckloads of U.S.D.A. food over the next few months,\u201d said Cathy Kanefsky, the president and chief executive officer of the Food Bank of Delaware.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cNow it\u2019s uncertain whether we will receive this food, meaning less meals we can provide to our neighbors,\u201d she said, adding: \u201cThe effect on our neighbors could be devastating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Campbell Robertson<!-- -->, <!-- -->Chris Cameron<!-- --> and <!-- -->Linda Qiu<!-- --> contributed reporting from Washington.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/20\/us\/politics\/food-banks-usda.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Food banks across the country are scrambling to make up a $500 million budget shortfall after the Trump administration froze<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14446,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[633,337,4577,4576,2627,1583,111,1137],"class_list":["post-14445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-us","tag-agriculture-department","tag-federal-aid-us","tag-feeding-america","tag-food-banks-and-pantries","tag-maryland","tag-oregon","tag-united-states-politics-and-government","tag-virginia"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Food Banks Left in the Lurch as U.S.D.A.
