TEFAP

TEFAP is a federal program that helps supplement the diets of income eligible people, by providing them with emergency food and nutrition assistance at no cost.

Under TEFAP, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides food to states.  States provide the food to local agencies that they select.  In Michigan, food is distributed by Community Action Agencies and food banks to local sites.

TEFAP distributions are changing.  Please call (231) 775-8330 for TEFAP available in your area.
