The Biden administration has announced a $1.7 billion package to fund initiatives aimed at ending hunger across the U.S. by 2030, the White House announced on Tuesday morning.The commitment will go towards funding 141 projects across the nation.
The full details of the package are expected to be announced by Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, at an event at the White House later on Tuesday.
As of 2022, around 17 million households experienced food insecurity nationwide, and more than 44 million people across the U.S. faced hunger, including one in five children, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The funding builds on the $8 billion already committed to fighting hunger in September 2022.
