WASHINGTON — The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has launched a resource guide for rural communities to use in their response against the coronavirus.

The COVID-19 Federal Resource Guide is intended to be a "one-stop-shop" for all federal programs that rural communities can make use of, including federal funding and partnership opportunities.

“Under the leadership of President Trump, USDA is committed to being a strong partner to rural communities preparing for and impacted by COVID-19,” said U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue on Monday. 

“This resource guide will help our rural leaders, whether they are in agriculture, education, health care or any other leadership capacity, understand what federal assistance is available for their communities during this unprecedented time.”
