• Harvesters and Food Assistance: In March 2025, it was reported that the USDA canceled $500 million in food for food banks across the country, including shipments destined for Harvesters in cities. This affected the distribution of products like meat, dairy, and eggs to pantries.
• USAID and "Food for Peace": Musk and Trump moved to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). This included halting the "Food for Peace" program, which has historically relied on American agricultural surpluses, impacting both international aid and potentially American farmers.
• Impact on Churches and Faith-Based Aid: The cuts caused significant disruptions to faith-based organizations that partner with the government for aid distribution. For instance, Catholic Relief Services reported having to halt much of its U.S. government-supported work, impacting food distribution to the hungry. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops also reported layoffs due to funding deficits.
