Tech tycoon and humanitarian Elon Musk said Thursday that significant government reforms are needed after seeing a report from a volunteer citizen relief workers who said that the federal government has been blocking citizens from delivering aid to hurricane victims because the donations were not from companies on the government’s “preferred vendors” list.
Instead of allowing American citizens to lend a helping hand out of their own goodwill, the US government, the volunteer relief workers said, has prioritized companies that won hefty contract bids to aid natural disaster victims, which reportedly allows state and federal governments to get kickbacks from the companies. The General Services Administration has a contract award process for “vendors offering relief supplies.”
Vendors must register with the system for “award management” and are then able to use the contracts they have in place with the GSA to provide services during the time of need. This necessarily preludes other vendors from supplying those same services. FEMA also has an “authorized equipment list” for all sorts of goods and services and these are what are authorized to be used in case of emergency, again precluding the agency from working with anyone else, regardless of need or accessibility.
Ryan Tyre, an American citizen who has been assisting natural disaster victims for several years, revealed the matter in a post on X. He explained that FEMA and federal law enforcement have actively prevented himself and others from delivering relief to residents in impacted communities because they are not preferred vendors, even when the aforementioned residents have not yet been helped and had been begging for assistance.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
