TEFAP

TEFAP

The Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP, USDA Commodities program) assists families who meet USDA federal poverty guidelines. Each month the Food Bank organizes about 50 volunteers to distribute food. Items include such staples as applesauce, dried beans, corn flake cereal, canned vegetables, etc. In addition to the 450 plus families who pick up the food at the Food Bank, the Salvation Army helps pack and deliver 100 boxes to local home-bound recipients.
