North Texas food banks, farmers and families make tough choices in the wake of USDA food program cuts

With less federal funding for food programs, Americans need to improve food security at home.
The North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) is addressing food insecurity and supporting local farmers through its "Farmers to Families" program, which has been expanded with a $200,000 grant from the T.L.L. Temple Foundation. This initiative, launched in 2020, connects farmers with food banks to distribute fresh produce to those in need, helping to reduce food waste and bolster the local economy. The program not only aids in providing nutritious food to food-insecure families but also supports farmers by purchasing their surplus produce at fair market value.
