Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Neodesha, KS, is dedicated to providing vital food assistance to low-income households across the state. Operated by the Kansas Department for Children and Families, TEFAP delivers essential USDA commodity foods to those in need, ensuring families receive nourishing options to meet their basic nutritional requirements. With shipments occurring five to six times a year, each participating organization receives a variety of food items, including canned vegetables, fruits, juices, meats, cereals, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and pasta, with each household potentially receiving between four to ten different items. To access these services, clients must apply through their home county, allowing us to support our community with compassion and urgency.
