Food Assistance
New Participants
The Emergency Food Program provides households with an income at or below 185% of the Federal Poverty Level with access to food every week.
Once a month, participants are eligible to receive a “Monthly TEFAP Visit,” which will include protein, fresh produce, shelf-stable items, bread, deli, and bakery items (as long as we have been able to source these items at the time of the visit). When possible, a hygiene item will be included. Baby and adult diapers are often available by request. These items can only be requested for a person in the household. Households with pets can request pet food if there is some on hand.
Weekly “Pantry Visits” are available for Emergency Food clients. Pantry visits typically include bread, fresh produce, and bakery items but will vary from week to week depending on donations to the food bank.
The Commodity Senior Food Program (CSFP) provides an extra monthly food box for qualifying adults aged 60 and over. Household income is at or below 130% of the federal poverty level.
