Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Augusta, KS, is dedicated to alleviating hunger by providing free USDA commodity foods to low-income households across the state. With shipments occurring five to six times each year, participating organizations play a vital role in distributing essential food items, which can include canned vegetables, fruits, juices, meats, cereals, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and pasta. Each household can receive a minimum of four to a maximum of ten different foods per distribution, ensuring that families have access to the nutritional support they need. To take advantage of this vital resource, individuals must apply through their local county office, reinforcing our commitment to serving the community with care and efficiency.
