Foodlink Addresses Federal Cuts to USDA Food Programs

Foodlink and Feeding America leaders are sounding the alarm after over $1 billion in USDA funding cuts impacted food assistance programs. Foodlink CEO Julia Tedesco says the organization lost $600,000 in expected food deliveries this spring, threatening local food pantry supplies. The cuts affect programs like TEFAP, which provides food to low-income families. As demand rises, organizations are seeking donations, volunteers, and alternative food sources. Trump administration efforts to reduce spending are drawing concern from anti-hunger advocates.
