FD Disaster Assistance
 As part of the
National Response Plan, FNS’s Food Distribution Division has the primary
responsibility of supplying food to disaster relief organizations
such as the Red Cross and the Salvation Army for mass feeding or
household distribution. Disaster organizations request food and
nutrition assistance through State
agencies that run USDA’s nutrition assistance programs.
State agencies notify USDA of the types and quantities of food
that relief organizations need for emergency feeding operations.
