Because, I go to a different school, actually than everyone … And I genuinely love to, like, speak about certain things like this, like how we could give back more to our community,” Polanco said outside West Berwick Elementary.

Gov. Josh Shapiro sued the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) over the termination of a $13 million food assistance contract in the wake of looming food stamp cuts and mounting losses to charitable food programs. USDA cancelled Pennsylvania’s three-year contract for the Local Food Purchasing Assistance (LFPA) program in March. It subsidized the cost for food banks to purchase produce from local farmers.
