Like millions of Americans, I will join family and friends this holiday season to share meals, conversation and to count our blessings. We’ll take a moment to thank the men and women in uniform serving our country overseas – and also those who produced the food on our tables.
During this time of celebration and good cheer, we should also look out for those less fortunate than we are. This year at USDA, we provided critical nutrition assistance to one in four Americans during a time of record need. But our work only goes so far. That is why I want to encourage Americans to help fight hunger and poverty and to support those struggling to feed themselves and their families.
