Commissioner Adam Putnam Visits Cold Storage Facility Shipping 200,000 Meals to The Salvation Army

Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Adam H. Putnam today visited Adams Cold Storage in Auburndale, Fla., which is loading 200,000 meals for shipment to The Salvation Army in Ft. Myers, Naples, and Ft. Lauderdale as part of Hurricane Irma response efforts. The food is typically held for use by schools; however, in the wake of a disaster, the USDA makes it available to mass care organizations to feed those affected by a disaster.
