To begin the week, Deputy Secretary Xochitl Torres Small was in Houston, where she joined U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia (TX-29) welcomed students and educators back to school and highlighted efforts by USDA, under the Biden-Harris Administration, to ensure that schools in Texas and nationwide have access to healthy, nutritious meals for students.
Later in the morning, they visited a local food bank to hear about the organization’s critical work providing food and support directly to nearby families and to learn how USDA partners with organizations to promote food and nutrition security to help keep communities fed, healthy, and strong.
