Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Parsons, Kansas, ensures that low-income households have access to critical food assistance through the provision of free USDA commodity foods. With shipments occurring five to six times per year, TEFAP partners with local organizations to distribute essential items like canned vegetables, fruits, juices, meat, cereal, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and pasta, ensuring that each household receives between four and ten items each delivery. To benefit from this vital resource, individuals in need must apply within their home county, making food access a priority in our community's fight against hunger.
