Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Lansing, KS, is dedicated to alleviating food insecurity by providing free USDA commodity foods to low-income households across the state. Recognizing the urgent need for nutrition, TEFAP ensures that families receive essential food items—including canned fruits and vegetables, juice, meat, cereals, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and pasta—through regular shipments sent to participating local organizations. Each distribution provides a minimum of four and up to ten nutritious food options per household, helping to meet basic dietary needs. To access these vital resources, individuals are encouraged to apply within their home county, allowing us to serve our community effectively and compassionately.
