delivery by June 30, and the
value of the foods currently
expected to be delivered by
that date.
The portion of the $70
million that is distributed to
each state educational
agency will be based on the
ratio of school lunches and
breakfasts served in that
state in 1972, to the number
of such meals served in all
states that year.
State educational agencies
are to distribute these funds
promptly and equitably, and
should try to pre-notify all
participating schools of the
amount they will receive.
Funds made available to a
school under this law are to
be over and above the cash
assistance provided under
the National School Lunch
Program and School Break
fast Program.
Most of the foods donated
for school feeding programs
are acquired by USDA under
price-support and surplus
removal programs, and the
strong commercial demand
for food has reduced the need
for Government purchases.
Thus, the volume and value
of foods available for
donation to school feeding

programs this school year
has been less than was
estimated earlier in the
year.
Donated foods usually
represent about 20 per cent
of the value of all foods used
by Schools. The rest is
purchased locally by the
schools, financed in part by
federal cash assistance
payments. Because schools
were unable to anticipate
and adjust for this decline in
commodity assistance,
Public Law 98-13 provides
for a one-time distrubition of
cash funds to be used by
schools to make food pur
chases, in local markets.

Mrs. Taylor stated that the
Donated Food Program is
most helpful and beneficial
to the low income families
within Perquimans County.
The families who are taking
advantage of the workshops
and requesting assistance
doing nicely in meal
planning. They are serving
their families more adequate
means than before. It is a
good program and hope the
homemakers who are
receiving the commodities
will take advantage of the
services available.
. Recipes are distributed to
participants each month
including many of the
donated foods. Other foods
needed to complete the
recipes would add variety to
the meals at a very small
cost.
