USDA: Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships

http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usda/usdahome?navid=FBCI
	USDA has a long history of working with faith-based and community organizations to help those in need, by providing federal assistance through domestic nutrition assistance programs, international food aid, rural development opportunities, and natural resource conservation. As we continue strengthening USDA's existing relationships and build new ones, the Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships will be instrumental in working with our community partners, faith-based and secular, to reach even more people in need throughout our country. On behalf of everyone at USDA, Secretary Tom Vilsack would like to thank each and every partner for their dedication to this important work. Please let us know how we can support your efforts. I Want To...
	Help End Hunger The USDA nutrition assistance programs help one in every five Americans get the nutrition assistance they need. We rely on local organizations and various partners to help get food to those in need.
	Revitalize Rural Communities Rural communities are a vital asset to our nation's economic and social well-being. USDA has various grant and loan programs to help develop housing, community facilities and businesses in our small towns.
	Conserve Natural Resources USDA has a leadership role in developing partnerships to help America's private land owners conserve their soil, water and other natural resources. Additionally, USDA is the steward of our national forests.
