Domestic Food Programs

Kathryn Longen and Joyce Allen

Food Review/ National Food Review, 1982, vol. NFR 17, issue 01

Abstract: The USDA food assistance programs provide food or food coupons to low income persons, helping them to achieve a more adequate diet. With the exception of the Food Stamp Program (FSP), the USDA programs are designed to meet the specific needs of segments of the low-income population. For example, the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs provide nutritious meals to children of high school age and under.
