For every meal the Foodbank provides, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides twelve. We recognize how vital this program is to our food-insecure neighbors, so we coordinate and assist with SNAP applications in all 26 counties we serve.

Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) boxes contain nutrient-rich foods to low-income seniors. This program prevents many area seniors from having to choose between paying for food or other necessities, such as medicine or utilities.

The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) ensures that low-income children continue to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session.

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) is a federal program that helps supplement the diets of low-income Americans by providing them nutrition assistance at no cost.
