“USDA is a partner in meeting my local purchasing goals. I often shift my entitlement to products that are not available locally and to products, like the roast chicken, that USDA Foods is able to offer at a lower price point than I could get as an individual school district.” Andrea Early, Harrisonburg City Public Schools Harrisonburg, Virginia
USDA Foods Can Be Local and Support Local Purchases
