Progress requires innovative, community-based solutions. That’s why the USDA's Center for Faith reaches out and connects government with non-profit organizations - both secular and faith-based - to help people in need.

In addition to leading the way in agriculture, natural resources, and food, USDA is committed to strengthen communities and nourishing kids. The Center is here to help communities connect with USDA priorities and programs so that together, we can positively impact lives.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us and discuss how we can better serve your community.
