Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Lyons, KS, is dedicated to alleviating food insecurity by offering free USDA commodity foods to low-income households across Kansas. Our program ensures that families receive essential nutrition through a well-curated selection of items, including canned vegetables, fruits, juices, meats, cereals, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and pasta, with each shipment providing between four to ten different food items per household. Food deliveries occur five to six times a year, and we encourage individuals to apply in their local home county to access these vital resources. At TEFAP, we are committed to making emergency food assistance readily available to those in need, fostering a healthier and more sustainable community for everyone.
