Hunger Free America, a nonprofit to end domestic hunger, has sued the Trump administration for failure to uphold its legal obligation to maintain a nationwide database of food assistance resources through a contract with a nongovernmental organization. The administration abruptly allowed the contract to expire without explanation and has since failed to meet its legal requirement for a food assistance clearinghouse. Plaintiff Hunger Free America alleges that this action violates the Administrative Procedure Act.
On September 8, 2025, Hunger Free America filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal after the defendants informed Hunger Free America that it had been awarded the USDA National Hunger Clearinghouse Services contract for the 2025-2026 contract year, with four potential additional contract year options.
