COMMODITY SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD PROGRAM
The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) works to improve the health of low income adults age 60+ years by supplementing their diets with nutritious foods. The monthly food package, worth about $35, is available at no cost to eligible individuals. The foods are intended to be a supplement and do not provide a complete diet.
Who is eligible?
Any senior that is age 60 or older and has a gross monthly income that is less or equal to CSFP income guidelines in the table below.
How does CSFP work?
CSFP provides a monthly supplemental food package that will typically include: canned fruit and vegetables, dry or canned milk, cheese, canned meat, peanut butter or dried beans, cereal and grains, rice, instant potatoes or pasta. If you have two people in your household that qualify then you will get two boxes!
