2024 Feds Feed Families Campaign
Defense Commissary Agency kicks off annual Feds Feed Families campaign
FORT GREGG-ADAMS, Va. – Monday, June 24 marked the kickoff for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) 15th annual Feds Feed Families (FFF) campaign, which encourages employees from across the federal government to give in-kind contributions, whether food, services and/or time, to food banks and pantries.
This year’s campaign runs through Sept. 30, and is the fifth year the Department of Defense (DOD) has designated the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) to lead its portion of the food donation effort.
The 2023 Feds Feed Families campaign broke records, bringing in over 10 million pounds of goods donated to food banks across the nation, an increase of more than 2.2 million pounds from 2022. Of the 10 million pounds donated, DOD contributed 5.9 million, or 59 percent, an increase of more than 26 percent from 2022. DeCA’s share of DOD’s 5.9 million was 4.1 million pounds, or 69 percent, an increase of more than 28 percent. Since Feds Feed Families launched in 2009, more than 117 million pounds of food have been collected for donation.

Commissary CLICK2GO now accepts EBT/SNAP payments online and in the app.
Commissary CLICK2GO, the Defense Commissary Agency’s (DeCA) online shopping and curbside pickup service, now accepts Electronic Benefits Transfer/Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (EBT/SNAP) payments online and in the app.
“We’re proud to now offer EBT/SNAP customers the ability to use their entitlement for online payment,” said DeCA Director and CEO John Hall.”
Commissary CLICK2GO (CC2G) extended its services to commissary customers who participate in EBT/SNAP in all 50 states in October 2021. However, customers had to go inside the store to use their EBT/SNAP benefit to pay for their purchases. DeCA worked with the departments of Agriculture and Treasury to add the capability, and now customers can use their EBT/SNAP card when checking out via their shop.commissaries account or the mobile app.
The Commissary CLICK2GO payment processor currently accepts American Express, Discover, EBT/SNAP, Mastercard, Military Star and VISA for online and curbside payments.
EBT/SNAP is only available in the U.S., not at overseas locations. Customers use a card that’s similar to a credit or debit card to access their benefits.
With the CC2G mobile app, commissary customers can access the online payment/curbside pickup service, digital coupons, the sales flyer, dietitian-approved recipes and more. The app is free for download through the Google Play and iOS app stores. All 235 commissaries around the world offer CC2G curbside pickup.
DeCA participates in efforts to reduce waste in California
Commissaries in California will no longer issue single-use shopping bags starting in June as the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) follows local laws to reduce waste and protect the environment, the agency announced.
In accordance with California Senate bill SB-270 signed in 2016, disposable carryout bags will no longer be available at any of the 24 California commissaries effective June 30, 2024.
“DeCA is committed to complying with applicable local, territorial and state laws restricting the use of plastic and paper single-use bags,” said John Hall, DeCA Director and CEO. “We plan to implement a phased approach to eliminate single-use bags that considers our patrons’ needs and logistical limitations.” Over the years, DeCA has been a leader in energy, water and solid waste reduction, as well as implementing a robust recycling program to help protect the environment.”
Commissary customers are encouraged to bring their own reusable bags from home or purchase reusable or hot/cold bags from the selection available at each store. Commissaries will post signs with more details to keep patrons informed.
DeCA remains dedicated to environmental stewardship, reducing its ecological footprint, and complying with applicable environmental laws and regulations. DeCA’s approach to eliminating non-reusable bags in all 24 California commissaries takes into account its patrons’ needs, as well as various contractual, fiscal, statutory, and operational requirements.
Eliminating single-use bags will be a major shift in commissary patron shopping habits, and DeCA will address potential concerns during the transition process. DeCA will also provide additional resources for education and awareness to ease the transition.
