Beyond Oregon, recent activity spans Texas (Health and Human Services Commission procuring supplemental food items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide), Illinois (Veterans Home weekly food orders), Georgia (school nutrition programs across multiple districts), and Missouri (Rockwood School District child nutrition services), indicating geographic spread across the South, Midwest, and Pacific Northwest.
