Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)

In Hesston, Kansas, the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) 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 a year, our program ensures that nutritious food is readily available, including essentials like canned vegetables, fruit, juice, meat, cereal, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and pasta. Each shipment delivers a minimum of four to a maximum of ten vital food items per household, addressing the urgent needs of our community. To access these resources, individuals are encouraged to apply in their home county, ensuring that everyone has the support they need to maintain a healthy diet.
