Surplus Military Food and Medication for Veterans

Policy would mandate that expiring medication and foods (e.g. M.R.E.s) would not be sent to GSA or other auction, but distributed to homeless or disabled veterans on a first-come-first-served basis to alleviate hunger and poverty in the veteran community. Medications and Foodstuffs would be available to both the veterans and their immediate family where a demonstrable financial hardship or need exists. Federal or Military facilities disposing of food or medication would be required to submit a report detailing what reasonable efforts were made to distribute food ro medicines destroyed or distributed to the general public.
Distribution of food and medicines could be coordinated withe Dept. of Veteran Affairs, the American Legion, or other certified, not-for-profit volunteer veteran organizations.
