How can this program help me?

If you're struggling to afford nutritious groceries on a regular basis, CSFP can provide you with certain foods at no cost. The purpose of this program is to promote good health. If you meet program guidelines, you can get a 40-pound box of food each month. CSFP foods may include:

  • Canned fruits and vegetables
  • Canned meats (such as canned beef, pork, and beef stew)
  • Pasta or rice
  • Dry beans or peanut butter
  • Fruit juices
  • Dry cereals
  • Cheese
  • Powdered and canned milk

How do I get help?

For more information about the Commodity Supplemental Food Program and how to apply, please contact your regional office. They can refer you to a local food pantry or other agency that provides CSFP services in an area close to you. Since food pantries and agencies that provide CSFP services can change every year, it's important that you contact the regional office first.
