President Trump Announces Additional $1B For Farmers To Families Food Box Program

President Trump made his rounds in North Carolina on Monday, just before accepting the Republican nomination for his reelection bid. He addressed supporters in Fletcher before giving remarks at a food bank in Mills River.

During his visit to the food bank, the president announced he would approve an additional $1 billion to the Farmers to Families Food Box program.

“I’m proud to announce that we will provide an additional $1 billion dollars to fund the Farmers to Families Food Box programs,” he stated. “It’s worked out so well.”

Under the program, the Department of Agriculture buys food from farmers and distributes it to local churches, food banks and non profit organizations.
