TEFAP provides free USDA commodity foods to low-income households throughout Kansas. TEFAP food is shipped five to six times per year to participating organizations for distribution, which is determined by the state of Kansas.
The foods may include canned vegetables, fruit, juice, meat, cereal, peanut butter, nonfat dry milk, and pasta.  Each shipment provides a minimum of four and a maximum of 10 foods per household.
Persons who work but have low income, as well as those who do not work, are eligible for this program. Persons must be residents of the Kansas county in which the food is being distributed. At the time of pick up, they must verbally indicate that they meet the income eligibility and state their household size.  They may also, but not necessarily, be required to sign a form stating that they qualify for the program. Persons may pick up food at only one location in their community.

Below are the maximum gross monthly income guidelines for TEFAP:
