Emergency Food Boxes (TEFAP)

In Tucson, Arizona, the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona is dedicated to alleviating hunger through its Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). This vital initiative provides emergency food boxes to low-income individuals and families, ensuring they receive the nutrition they need. Clients are invited to self-declare eligibility by meeting the income guidelines set by the Department of Economic Security. Once approved, eligible households can collect emergency food boxes once a month, with the size of the package tailored to the number of family members. When visiting, individuals should bring essential information including identification, proof of residency, and family details to facilitate the process. We are committed to supporting our community and making nutritious food accessible to those in need.
