Through the collaborative efforts of the Kansas Department for Children and Families, we distribute free USDA commodity foods, ensuring families can access essential nutrition to support their well-being. Our program delivers nutritious foods, including canned vegetables, fruit, juice, meat, cereal, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and pasta, with each delivery providing between four and ten assorted items to meet the diverse needs of our clients. To benefit from this essential food pantry service, individuals must apply in their home county, ensuring that support reaches those who need it most, right in their communities.
