Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Junction City, KS, is dedicated to providing vital food assistance to low-income households across the state. Through the Kansas Department for Children and Families, TEFAP distributes free USDA commodity foods to ensure that families can access essential nutrition. With shipments running five to six times a year, we deliver a variety of staples—including canned vegetables, fruits, juice, meat, cereal, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and pasta—directly to participating organizations for distribution. Each household can receive between four to ten different food items per shipment, helping to bridge the gap for those in need. Clients can easily apply for assistance in their local county, ensuring that help is always within reach for those who require it most.
