The first daughter praised Americans, saying through continued dedication and innovation from farmers, small businesses, and their workers, we will find a pathway for success.
“It’s within our American DNA to come together in the most difficult times and to find the path forward,” stated Ivanka. “As we witness the first ‘Farmers to Family’ food boxes going out today, we recognize each of you to represent an important piece of the fabric, which means America.”
