A bipartisan group of senators is demanding immediate action from USDA Secretary Thomas Vilsack after several tribal nations reported that a federal food distribution program they rely on has not fulfilled orders for months, and in some cases has delivered expired food. Last spring, the USDA consolidated from two contractors to one for deliveries of its Food Distribution Program in Indian Reservations. In a letter sent to Vilsack on Friday, the senators expressed concern that Native American families across the country are experiencing “extreme disruptions.” “Participating households have not had consistent food deliveries for over four months,” the senators wrote. “This is unacceptable.” The Associated Press obtained a copy of the letter exclusively Thursday, before it was sent the USDA leader.
