Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Lenexa, KS, provides vital food assistance to low-income households throughout the state, ensuring access to essential USDA commodity foods. Our program delivers nutritious food, including canned vegetables, fruits, juices, meats, cereals, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and pasta, through five to six shipments each year to local organizations dedicated to serving those in need. Each delivery includes a selection of four to ten different food items per household, aimed at meeting basic nutritional needs. To receive assistance, individuals must apply in their home county, and we are here to support families in accessing the food they require for a healthy diet.
