In May, Midwest Food Bank began participating in the new USDA Farmers to Families Food Box program. It was created to help both food producers and those struggling with food insecurity as a result of COVID-19. With funding provided by the USDA, food distributors bought
produce, protein, and dairy products directly from farmer
and producers. The distributors boxed the food items and gave them directly to participating charities.
