An excerpt:

“When the China virus struck our nation, many farmers had no place to send their crops or livestock. At the same time, families across the country were in need of groceries. They wanted to eat well,” President Trump told workers and others gathered at the facility yesterday.

“That’s why we launched the Farmers to Families Food Box program. Through this program, the Department of Agriculture is purchasing food from farmers, then local distributors pack and deliver the boxes. And families in need get it.”

The 185 employees at Flavor 1st alone pack about 7,000 of these boxes each week. In total, the Farmers to Families program has delivered 70 million boxes across America.

“This program is a miracle. It works for everybody,” said Zach Derstine, the president of food distribution company in Pennsylvania. Derstine says the food box program saved his company amid the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Ivanka Trump: 70 million boxes of fresh produce and counting

More than 100 million meals have been provided under the program, amounting to more than 1 billion pounds of food delivered. Yesterday, President Trump announced that an additional $1 billion will be provided to keep the program going this fall.
