Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Burlington, Kansas, is dedicated to combating food insecurity by providing essential USDA commodity foods to low-income households across the state. With shipments delivered five to six times a year to local organizations, TEFAP ensures that families have access to a variety of nutritious food items, including canned vegetables, fruits, juice, meat, cereal, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and pasta. Each distribution offers a minimum of four and up to ten food items per household, helping to meet the basic nutritional needs of those in our community. Households interested in receiving food assistance can apply through their home county, and we are here to support them every step of the way in this crucial service.
