Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP)

The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) in Manhattan, KS, is dedicated to providing essential food assistance to low-income individuals aged 60 and over across a 53-county service area. Every month, eligible participants receive a thoughtfully curated food package that includes nutritious items such as cheese, shelf-stable milk, peanut butter, dry beans, cereals, meats, fruits, vegetables, juice, and more, ensuring they have access to a variety of healthy options. This vital program aims to alleviate food insecurity among seniors, and individuals interested in applying for the CSFP can easily do so by contacting their local administering organization, which can provide an application by mail or offer an electronic version that can be printed, completed, and returned for assistance.
