The Departments of Agriculture and Human Services were joined last week by Minority Chair of the Senate Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee Senator Judy Schwank and charitable food organizations at the Capitol Hunger to raise awareness of programs addressing food insecurity in Pennsylvania during Hunger Action Month.
The Pennsylvania Agricultural Surplus System (PASS) is an example of how farmers and food processors can support Pennsylvanians in need. PASS has distributed more than 23 million
pounds of surplus food from farmers to Pennsylvanians in need, while simultaneously generating more than $40 million in economic output. More than 80 different Pennsylvania products have been sourced from 189 farmers, processors, and growers located in 50 counties across the commonwealth.
Food insecurity is capable of impacting seniors, college students, young families, and everyone in between,” according to Sen. Schwank who added, “For nearly two million Pennsylvanians, going to bed hungry is a familiar and unfortunate reality.
For more resources and programs to help Pennsylvanians access nutritious foods, including the Senior Food Box Program and the Farmers Market Nutrition Program, visit the Department of Agriculture’s website.
