Summer Food Service Program (SFSP)
Hunger doesn’t take a summer vacation. And so USDA’s Summer Food Service
Program (www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/summer/) provides nutritious commodities for
use in meals served to children during their summer vacation from school (and long
vacation periods for schools on year-round schedules) in needy areas.
Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)
CACFP (www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/care/) provides nutritious commodities for meals
and snacks served to children and adults in day care facilities, such as child care
centers, day care homes, and adult day care centers. The program also provides
meals to children in emergency shelters and snacks to youth in after-school
programs.
Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP)
CSFP (www.fns.usda.gov/fdd/programs/csfp/) works to improve the health of lowincome
pregnant and breastfeeding women and other new mothers up to 1 year post
partum, infants, children (up to age 6) and older people at least 60 years of age, by
supplementing their diets with nutritious USDA commodities.
Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR)
FDPIR (www.fns.usda.gov/fdd/programs/fdpir/) provides monthly food packages
to low-income people residing on Indian reservations or to low-income Native
Americans living in designated areas near Indian reservations. The program serves
as an alternative to the Food Stamp Program for those living in remote areas
of reservations and offers participants a selection of more than 70 products.
The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)
TEFAP (www.fns.usda.gov/fdd/programs/tefap/) provides
emergency food and nutrition assistance to low-income
Americans, including the elderly and homeless. The
program supplies commodities to States, which then
distribute them to local agencies that serve the public
directly through household distributions (such as
food banks), or congregate feeding sites (such as
homeless shelters and soup kitchens).
