This misguided freeze is actively impacting the ability of Oregon food banks to place food orders and worsening food insecurity in our communities. We urge you to reverse this funding freeze immediately to ensure that Oregon families\u2014and families across the country\u2014do not face disruption to essential food distribution services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you are aware, USDA announced in early February 2025 that it would suspend CCC payments to food assistance programs, including the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDIPR), and the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). We are gravely concerned about the impact of these funding freezes on the families that we represent. Our state\u2019s largest food bank network, Oregon Food Bank, distributed 73 million meals in 2023 and saw 2.5 million visits to its food assistance sites last year. CCC purchases account for about 18% of the food the Oregon Food Bank distributes to its clients, and as of the date of this letter, all CCC TEFAP orders have been cancelled through July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the funding freeze is not lifted, the flow of dairy, eggs, meat, and produce \u2013 the equivalent of 30 truckloads of food \u2013 to neighbors in need will be disrupted as soon as this month. On top of this, local farmers will lose the funds they would have received from selling fresh, locally grown foods to food banks under the Local Food Purchasing Assistance (LFPA) program, which is funded by CCC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We ask that you reverse the destructive funding freeze at CCC and immediately restore the flow of federal funding for programs that feed our communities and keep our farmers afloat. President Trump and his administration have a stated goal of lowering prices for American families. Cuts to food assistance programs like food banks push that goal further out of reach for the families that rely on these essential services. We urge you to take immediate action to correct course and ensure that the communities we represent do not face heightened food insecurity because of your official actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWe urge you to reverse this funding freeze immediately to ensure that Oregon families\u2014and families across the country\u2014do not face disruption to essential food distribution services.\u201d Washington, DC\u00a0\u2013 Today,\u00a0Congresswoman Janelle Bynum (OR-05)\u00a0led the bicameral, Democratic Oregon Congressional delegation in sending\u00a0a letter\u00a0to the Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, strongly condemning the administration&#8217;s payment freeze to a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":18845,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[118,36],"class_list":["post-21956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-releases","tag-delivering-for-oregon","tag-natural-resources-and-rural-development"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
