Each year, federal employees across the United States donate millions of pounds of food to those in need as part of the Feds Feed Families food drive. Through this campaign, employees give in a variety of ways – from bringing in canned goods to “gleaning” leftover produce from local farms to volunteering and more.
This year's food drive runs through Aug. 9, so it's not too late to get involved! We are grateful for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's support and commitment to feeding those in need.

The latest Feds Feed Families food drive theme is Veterans and Hunger. According to USDA research, 1.1 million or 6.7% of all veterans nationwide lived in poverty in 2019. The challenge of hunger is still present, federal employees can help support healthy eating for veterans in need by donating food items to the food bank or food pantry of your choice. Remember to record your donations here: https://fedsfeedfamilies.ocio.usda.gov/pages/recording-and-results
Free meals for all children in US Schools. One can not concentrate and learn if all you think about is food. A good program.

Hi, my name is Melba Huffman from SSA, Yuba City, California FO 989 and thanks to Feds Feed Families I literally just save a life about an hour ago. The temperature here is 105. I decided to go door to door around my neighborhood promoting Feds Feeds the Families and get can foods from the community to help the community. In my walk I found an elderly women inside a car in front of her house. The engine was off and the windows were closed. I open the door, she was almost none responsive. I gave her water, knock on the neighbors door for help. It was very hard for her to walk but finally we able to put her inside into safety. ❤️❤️❤️
Will there be a Link for the live stream here? The Kick off event.

Excited to speak at the EEOC Dallas Office today about FFF!
