Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP)

The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) in Paola, KS, is dedicated to providing essential food assistance to low-income seniors aged 60 and older within a 53-county service area. Each month, eligible participants receive a thoughtfully curated food package that includes a variety of nutritious items such as cheese, shelf-stable milk, cereal, vegetables, fruits, and protein sources like meat and peanut butter. Our mission is to ensure that older adults have access to emergency food resources that promote health and well-being. To apply for this vital program, individuals can reach out to the local administering organization, which can supply an application by mail or direct them to the electronic CSFP Application available online for easy access and submission. We are here to support our community's seniors with the nutrition they need.
