Request $100,000 discretionary grant from Secretary Veneman
· This past year the North Carolina Department of Agriculture partnered with the Society of St. Andrew in two ways: $78,000 worth of TEFAP funding for reimbursement costs, and $67,000 as an in-kind contribution through the use of NCDA trucks and the drivers.
· This breaks down to a total of $145,000, which provided 15 million servings of food.
· In total, the Society of St. Andrew gleaned 45 million servings of food.
· The $100,000 (crossed out: we are requesting from Ann Veneman) would provide AT LEAST 10 million servings (handwritten in margins: 96 bil lbs of food is left over or thrown out)
. The money from the grant would allow The Society of St. Andrew to get food on tables for no more than 1 penny per serving.
· The Society of St. Andrew and the NCDA already have a relationship that works incredibly effectively and efficiently.
· The bottom line is that the $100,000 grant would equate to actual servings of food on the tables of those in need.
· Farmers benefit from this program for environmental reasons (handwritten in margins: - 20 dump trucks a day of tomatoes)
· This grant will increase awareness and awareness equates to tapping into the OTHER 94% of produce that IS NOT Gleaned in North Carolina (handwritten in margins: 6% only at present)
· This program can be a model for other states and a SERIOUS way that this Administration is addressing hunger and nutrition
