MILFORD, Del. — Families relying on food assistance in Delaware may soon face shortages due to major federal funding cuts affecting food bank shipments nationwide. The Food Bank of Delaware, which depends on supplies from local, federal, and community sources, is now feeling the strain as shipments from the U.S. Department of Agriculture have been drastically reduced. Fourteen truckloads of food expected in the coming months are now on hold, accounting for a significant portion of the food bank’s supply.
With fewer resources available, officials are urging the community to step up and help bridge the gap. As concerns grow over the impact on those in need, federal leaders are seeking answers. Efforts are underway to address the shortfall, but until a solution is found, local support will be critical in keeping food on the tables of Delaware families.
