Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Coffeyville, KS, is dedicated to providing critical food assistance to low-income households across the state. Administered by the Kansas Department for Children and Families, TEFAP ensures access to nutritious USDA commodity foods, including canned fruits and vegetables, meats, cereals, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and pasta. With shipments made five to six times a year to local organizations, we strive to meet the basic nutritional needs of families in our community by distributing a minimum of four and up to ten essential food items per household. To participate, individuals must apply within their home county, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to benefit from this vital program.
