Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Marysville, KS, is dedicated to alleviating food insecurity by providing free USDA commodity foods to low-income households across the region. With shipments occurring five to six times a year, TEFAP ensures that essential food items—such as canned vegetables, fruits, meat, cereal, and pasta—are readily available for distribution through local organizations. Each household can receive between four to ten nutritious food items with every shipment, aiming to meet basic nutritional needs and support the health of families in our community. To access this vital food assistance, individuals must apply within their home county, making it easier for those in need to secure the provisions necessary for their wellbeing.
