It wasn’t just food. Their best trucks were from Studebaker, Dodge, and GMC. Both light and medium tanks were supplied as well, augmenting the T-34 and other Russian built models.

From Wikipedia:

In total, the U.S. deliveries through Lend-Lease amounted to $11 billion in materials: over 400,000 jeeps and trucks; 12,000 armored vehicles (including 7,000 tanks, about 1,386[38] of which were M3 Lees and 4,102 M4 Shermans);[39] 11,400 aircraft (4,719 of which were Bell P-39 Airacobras)[40] and 1.75 million tons of food.[41]
