Recognizing the 50th anniversary of the Food and Nutrition Service of the Department of Agriculture.

    Whereas the Food and Nutrition Service was founded on August 8, 1969, and has worked in a public-private partnership to reduce food insecurity and promote nutritious diets among the people of the United States;

    Whereas the Food and Nutrition Service partners with State and local governments, Tribal organizations, school systems, nonprofit organizations, private sector companies, and faith-based organizations—

    (1) to address hunger, poverty, and nutrition; and

    (2) to provide support to over 36,000,000 people in the United States who live in households that face hunger on a daily basis;

    Whereas the Food and Nutrition Service administers 15 nutrition assistance programs that leverage the agricultural abundance of the United States to ensure that children, seniors, and low-income individuals and families have access to nutritious food;

    Whereas the programs of the Food and Nutrition Service reach 1 in 4 people in the United States each year;

    Whereas it is the mission of Food and Nutrition Service to increase food security and reduce hunger while maintaining the integrity and efficiency of programs that provide nutrition assistance to the people of the United States when those people are in need; and
