Feeding Texas - LFPA Spotlight

The Local Food Purchase Assistance (LFPA) program is a USDA program that aims to support socially disadvantaged farmers and producers in delivering food to underserved communities. The program has allowed Texas food banks to purchase products they would not normally be able to afford and has expanded economic opportunities for local farmers and producers in regions across the state.
With funding set to run out in May 2025, the future of the LFPA program remains uncertain. We call on Congress to allocate the funding necessary to sustain and grow this critical investment in strengthening our local food systems.
