Abstract: The Food Distribution Programs of the Department of Agriculture (USDA) assist American farmers and needy people by purchasing and delivering food to State agencies that, in turn, distribute them to organizations that assist those in need.

This information includes, for example, the number of households served in the programs; the quantities of foods ordered, and where the food is to be delivered; verification of the receipt of a food order; and the amounts of USDA foods in inventory. FNS employs this information collection activity to obtain the data necessary to make those calculations.
