Those deliveries are on hold for Good Shepherd — and food banks around the country — through at least June.</p><p>"Paquette said the USDA delivery represented about 20% of food that Good Shepherd moves around the state.</p><p>"The cuts — both to government food deliveries and to funds that Good Shepherd used to buy local produce — are concerning, Paquette said, because more Mainers are experiencing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodInsecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodInsecurity</span></a>.</p><p>"Our need is up every year," she said. 'This year we distributed 10% more food cases than we distributed the year before that, and that year was 10% over the [prior] year. So we're experiencing double-digit need increase in the state of Maine.'</p><p>"A spokesperson for the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry said the state received about $1.3 million for the Local Food Purchase Assistance program.</p><p>"USDA has also terminated the Local Food for Schools program, which provided more than $720,000 last year to Maine schools. Schools used those funds to buy food directly from local farmers to serve in their cafeterias.</p><p>"The program provided a big boost to the state's farmers, because more than 100,000 students eat at Maine schools every day, said Anna Korsen of the food security non-profit Full Plates Full Potential.</p><p>"'That has a huge impact on local economies, on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SmallFarms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmallFarms</span></a>, and it's just better for kids," she said. 'The food's healthier, they're getting fresh, local foods in the school cafeteria.'</p><p>"A spokesperson for Maine's Department of Education said the state was expected to receive nearly $2.8 million for the Local <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodForSchools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodForSchools</span></a> program over the next three years. The funding was supposed to be disbursed later this spring.</p><p>"Maine still has a statewide local food purchasing program for schools. But Korsen said the federal program provided more purchasing power for Maine schools. In 2023 before Maine received federal <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LFS</span></a> funding, schools in the Pine Tree State spent just more than $168,000 on local food, Korsen said.</p><p>"These USDA programmatic cuts are separate from those that the department is making at the University of Maine System [which were just reversed]. And unlike those impacting UMaine, the termination of USDA's local purchasing programs affects food banks and schools around the country." </p><p><a href="https://www.mainepublic.org/business-and-economy/2025-03-12/usda-ending-local-purchasing-programs-for-maine-food-banks-and-schools" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">mainepublic.org/business-and-e</span><span class="invisible">conomy/2025-03-12/usda-ending-local-purchasing-programs-for-maine-food-banks-and-schools</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KillThePoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KillThePoor</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MadKingTrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MadKingTrump</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RESIST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RESIST</span></a>! <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorkingPoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorkingPoor</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNAP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SNAP</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveTheFarms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SaveTheFarms</span></a></p>
