The administration cut $500 million in aid to U.S. food banks earlier this year, reducing deliveries by 4,300 and 94 million pounds of food. Department of Agriculture data itemizes the canceled shipments by pounds and intended destinations. Each canceled delivery can be represented visually as a truck to convey tangible loss and specific recipients. An interactive counter can track how many cancellations an observer has viewed. The combination of precise weights, delivery counts, and destination information quantifies the scale of the reduction in food assistance available to communities.
