Who: USDA Employees 

What: USDA Feds Feed Families National Day of Giving Stuff-the-Truck Event 

USDA is well into our "summer of giving" food drive for the Feds Feed Families campaign, and we continue to work alongside our federal family to address the issue of food insecurity. The Feds Feed Families food drive is an opportunity for all of us to give in-kind donations—food, service, and time—to members of our communities. This is a purely voluntary effort and all federal workers are invited to participate. All volunteers should follow CDC guidance, which says that unvaccinated individuals should wear a mask, but fully vaccinated individuals (at least two weeks past the final dose) do not need to wear a mask in most indoor settings.

As part of our campaign, the USDA team is hosting a National Day of Giving Stuff-the-Truck event. All USDA employees are encouraged to participate in a “National Day of Giving Stuff-the-Truck” event in your local area or make a donation at a local food bank on the day of the event. There will be five locations in the National Capital Region, and USDA employees nationwide are encouraged to conduct Stuff-the-Truck events as well where appropriate. This year marks the 12th annual government-wide Feds Feed Families food drive. This year’s campaign highlights a summer of giving June through August, along with seasonal reminders to donate throughout the year.
