NOTTINGHAM, Md. — Sonny Perdue, the United States Secretary of Agriculture, will be in Maryland on Wednesday for the second time in three months to promote the Federal Government's Families Food Box Program.
Following a morning trip to a pork processing plant in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, Perdue will head over to Bowery Farming in Nottingham for a 2:45 p.m. tour.
The initiative aims to financially support food distributors and suppliers most impacted by the forced closures of restaurants and other related businesses, while also helping out families in need of food.
