Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Manhattan, KS, plays a vital role in supporting low-income households by providing essential USDA commodity foods. We distribute nutritious food items such as canned vegetables, fruits, juices, meat, cereal, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and pasta, ensuring that families have access to the nourishment they need. With shipments delivered five to six times a year to local organizations, we strive to meet basic nutritional needs, offering a variety of food options in every delivery. Eligible residents can apply for assistance in their home county, allowing us to serve our community effectively and compassionately.
