      <Desc>Farm to Family ProgramTo ensure that low-income Californians have access to foods necessary to maintain health, Farm to Family works with growers, packers, and agricultural associations throughout California to obtain 50 varieties of surplus fruits and vegetables, which are provided to 43 food banks and in turn to low-income Californians. In 2016, the program delivered 163 million pounds of fresh produce (valued at $109,000,000) - one of the major food sources for CA food banks and people in need. In 2016 Farm to Family also launched a protein acquisition program to obtain products such as poultry, legumes, and dairy which are also essential for health, but often cost-prohibitive for low-income people.</Desc>
