ROCKVILLE, MD (October 4, 2024)

LCG inc., a leader in IT consulting, modernization, and transformation services to the Federal Government, is excited to announce the capture of a win extending their relationship within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Services (FNS). FNS aligns with the USDA mission by working to end hunger and obesity through the administration of 15 federal nutrition assistance programs including the Women, Infants, and Children Program (WIC), the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Food Distribution Programs, and several adult and child feeding programs, most notably the National School Lunch Program. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for our organization and reinforces our commitment to supporting government agencies in delivering exceptional services for the public.

“There has never been a more exciting time to partner with the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, as we navigate through these times of incredible technological advancements.” stated Chanaka Perera, Chief Technology Officer at LCG.

“As we reimagine their Innovation Hub, we will be driven by purpose to deliver not just the art of the possible, but real-world impact by combining empathy-driven approaches with Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Cloud-based Platforms to advance mission objectives.”

Chanaka declared, “This collaboration represents a pivotal moment for LCG, reinforcing our commitment to fostering a culture of curiosity, enthusiasm, and innovation that drives meaningful change.”

Within FNS, LCG will be supporting the Technology Division Innovations Branch. The scope of this new contract includes governance and discovery working closely with the FNS innovation committees, developing roadmaps, pilots for AI, and new innovative solutions. Their forward-looking approach and dedication to excellence align perfectly with the USDA’s mission to enhance the quality of life for Americans and ensure food security across the nation.

“Our goal this year is to be bold and take risks. We are thrilled to build on our partnership with the USDA.” said Keia Eaves, Vice President of Strategy & Growth at LCG. “This opportunity allows us to leverage our expertise in making a meaningful impact on agricultural practices and policies. Together, we can drive innovation and efficiency in service delivery for the public.”

LCG looks forward to working closely with the USDA team to achieve shared objectives and support their implementation of a creative culture with breakthrough ideas. This will help foster a healthier, more sustainable agricultural landscape for current and future generations to come.
