Feds Feed Families Food Drive summer campaign is here
USDA is well into our summer of giving food drive for the Feds Feed Families campaign as we continue to work alongside our federal family to address the issue of food insecurity.
FFF is an opportunity for us to unite and give in-kind donations – food, service, and time – to food pantries and food banks of choice.
All employees are encouraged to participate:
- Become a FFF Champion
- Donate to a food bank or food pantry of your choice.
- Host or attend an event
- Volunteer to glean at a farm or warehouse or Plant-a-Row.
----> Record your donation and volunteer time on the FFF Hub
