Pennsylvania LFPA Plus Executive Summary
The Pennsylvania Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program (PA-LFPA) will be modeled after Pennsylvania’s successful state-funded PASS (Pennsylvania Agricultural Surplus System) Program. Unlike the PASS Program, however, which seeks to first recover food that might otherwise go to waste, the PA-LFPA will work with Pennsylvania’s local food system to exclusively procure top-graded, high-quality product for distribution throughout the charitable feeding system which serves all 67 counties in Pennsylvania.
