April 3, 2025

Be Informed

1. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has just recently cut over 1 billion dollars in funding for the Local Food for Schools Cooperative Agreement Program and the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program for 2025 aimed at helping schools and food banks purchase from local farmers.

2. The Local Food for Schools Cooperative Agreement Program for 2025 is designed to help schools and food banks purchase from local farmers. The Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program purchases food from local farmers and suppliers to help food banks.

3. Both of these programs benefit farmers as well as provide food for school children, childcare children, and families in underserved communities.

Give Support

SammySocks Etc. will donate 20% of all sales during the month of April 2025 to the Central Texas Food Bank. 20% of your purchase will go toward helping feed people in 21 Central Texas counties affecting over 60,000 people every week.

Take Action

1. Donate directly to your local food bank.

2. Volunteer at your local food bank.

3. Contact your local officials in your city, county, state, and federal government. Let them know that they need to step up and support local, county, state, and national food banks. You can find who your elected officials are at this website: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials.

4. Specifically contact your federal elected officials (congressmen or congresswomen and senators) to let them know that you do not support the cuts to these federal programs that supply food to schools and food banks.
