Surplus food is used for which programs?

Surplus food is used for which programs?

• A. the Hot Lunch Program, the Food Stamp Program, and community food shelters
• B. to supply private restaurants
• C. to fund international aid
• D. to stock government warehouses

Answer: (A)

Surplus food is redirected to programs that directly feed people and reduce waste. It supports the Hot Lunch Program by providing meals for students, the Food Stamp Program (now SNAP) by supporting access to affordable food, and community food shelters or food banks that distribute food to those in need. This focus on feeding people and preventing waste explains why these programs are the primary uses. It wouldn’t typically go to private restaurants, fund international aid, or simply stock government warehouses, since those aren’t aimed at feeding people with surplus resources.
