Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Wellington, Kansas, is dedicated to alleviating hunger among low-income households by providing vital food assistance. With shipments of free USDA commodity foods delivered five to six times a year, TEFAP ensures that families receive essential nutrition through items such as canned vegetables, fruit, juice, meat, cereal, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and pasta. Each household can access a range of four to ten nutritious food items per delivery, creating a reliable source of emergency food. To benefit from this program, clients are encouraged to apply in their home county, enabling us to support the community's most urgent needs effectively and compassionately.
