In a press release Tuesday, Virginia announced that they were getting $280k to help feed 5,000 seniors. The funds come from the USDA’s Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), which means that they’re Federal funds, which in turn means that, at least in theory, they could be available to any state. Virginia applied for the funding back in August, and a five month process doesn’t actually seem to bad, compared to many Federal programs, so if you don’t already have a similar program in your state, in may be time to call your local representatives.
