Commodity Supplemental Food Program

CSFP is a federal food program designed to improve the health and nutrition of senior citizens and WIC participants.  The commodities are tailored to the nutritional needs of the participants, providing nutrients that the participants might otherwise not get.  Seniors at least 60 years of age, with an income at or below 130% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines, receive 40 pounds of food monthly.  Our client list can reach a maximum of 30 senior adults.
