The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)

Based in Athens, OH, The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) is a critical initiative offered by Hocking Athens Perry Community Action, dedicated to providing emergency food assistance to low-income individuals and families facing short-term hunger. As a federal program, TEFAP supplies nutritious USDA commodities through a network of food pantries, including the Southeastern Ohio Food Bank, ensuring that vulnerable populations such as the elderly, children, working families, and the homeless have access to essential food resources. We strive to assist those in need with compassion and urgency, and our household-income eligibility guidelines are available for interested clients seeking support.
