I checked USDA releases, the Federal Register, and the 2025 budget documents and there’s no record of a $500M reduction, no March 2025 announcement, and no AP/Reuters reporting on it.If you’ve got an official USDA link or a CBO/CRS report showing those numbers, drop it.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has initiated significant cuts to U.S. food aid programs in 2025, slashing over \(\$1\) billion in USDA nutrition funding. These cuts, aimed at improving federal efficiency, target programs supporting local food purchases for schools and food banks, while also impacting emergency food aid for multiple countries.

Impact on Food Aid and Programs
- School & Food Bank Funding: Roughly \(\$660\) million was axed from the "Local Food for Schools" program and \(\$420\) million from the "Local Food Purchase Assistance" program. These cuts directly affect over \(40\) states.
