Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Abilene, KS, is dedicated to alleviating hunger by providing essential food assistance to low-income households across Kansas. Our program distributes complimentary USDA commodity foods, ensuring that families have access to vital nutrition. With shipments occurring five to six times annually, we supply a variety of items such as canned vegetables, fruits, juices, meat, cereals, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and pasta to participating organizations. Each distribution allows families to choose from a minimum of four to a maximum of ten food items, tailored to meet their basic nutritional needs. To receive assistance, clients are encouraged to apply through their home county, making it easier for those in need to access these critical resources.
