Religious groups began weighing in on President Obama’s proposed 2014 budget. One measure in particular is generating debate in the faith community. The president has proposed significantly restructuring US foreign food aid. Among several changes, the plan would divert much funding away from direct delivery of U.S. aid to instead focus more on vouchers for local procurement of food. Some relief groups say this will be more cost effective, but several others expressed concern that the assistance would not get to the people who need it the most.
