(The Emergency Food Assistance
Program)
The Emergency Food
Assistance Program (TEFAP) provides food assistance to needy people
through the distribution of USDA commodities.
Under TEFAP, commodity foods are made available by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture to states for distribution to households
for use in preparing meals for home consumption, or to organizations
that prepare and provide meals for needy people.
Foods are distributed free, but recipients of food for home use must
meet program eligibility criteria set by the states.
CSU Extension
is the coordinator for the program in Arapahoe County. Clients
may call for referrals to the various food banks that receive the
USDA commodities from the State of Colorado through Arapahoe
County. Currently, there are 16 food banks located in Arapahoe
County. |
