Answer to Question 1
Food recovery refers to collecting wholesome surplus food for distribution to low-income people who are hungry. To assist where government programs fall short, concerned citizens in many communities work through local agencies and religious organizations to help deliver food to hungry people. National food recovery programs, such as Feeding America, coordinate the efforts of food banks, food pantries, emergency kitchens, and homeless shelters that provide food to tens of millions of people a year.
Answer to Question 2
The centerpiece U.S. food program for low-income people is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), administered by the USDA. About half of the recipients are children. Eligible households receive electronic debit transfer cards through state social services or welfare agencies. Recipients can use the cards like cash to purchase food and food-bearing plants and seeds but not tobacco, cleaning items, alcohol, or other nonfood items. To help stretch consumer food dollars and SNAP credits, the USDA also provides guidance on planning thrifty meals, complete with daily menus and recipes.
