Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Olathe, KS, is dedicated to providing essential food assistance to low-income households across Kansas. Operated by the Kansas Department for Children and Families, TEFAP ensures that families can access free USDA commodity foods, delivered directly to participating organizations five to six times yearly. Our program supplies a variety of nutritious items, including canned vegetables, fruits, juices, meats, cereals, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and pasta, with each household receiving a minimum of four and a maximum of ten different foods per shipment. To benefit from this crucial support, clients must apply in their home county, allowing us to meet the urgent nutritional needs of our community with care and efficiency.
