Food banks across the country are taking it upon themselves to remove each letter by hand.
The letters, which are written in both English and Spanish, appear on White House letterhead and urge Americans to wash their hands and social distance.
“We will support Americans’ recovery every step of the way. Together we will overcome this challenge, and our Nation will emerge from this crisis stronger than ever before,” it reads, accompanied by the President’s John Hancock. One of these food banks, San Francisco-Marin Food Bank, has opted to remove the letters from the boxes and is urging other neighborhood pantries to do the same.
“We wouldn’t put any third-party messaging in our boxes, and we wouldn’t want anyone to think we are pushing a political message,” Keely Hopkins, the food bank’s communications and social media manager, said. The Agriculture Department is now mandating that millions of boxes of surplus food for needy families include a letter from Trump falsely claiming credit. The USDA’s $4 billion Families to Farmers Food Box Program distributed 100 million boxes since May.
