Ivanka Trump touts new $3B federal food program

Ivanka Trump and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue toured a food service business in Maryland, where they touted a new $3 billion food purchase and distribution program, known as the Farmers to Families Food Box Program.

The program provides federal funds to small businesses to distribute food to non-profits and faith-based organizations.

"These are 20 to 25 pound boxes of the finest fresh produce, often locally grown, and will be delivered to food banks, to community and faith-based organizations and other non for profits serving Americans in need across the country," said Ivanka Trump.

"This is a proud moment for America," said Perdue.

"It's actually the best of what we do in bringing people together and certainly in our fulfilling our motto at USDA, which is to do right and feed everyone."
