CSFP is a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) program which provides clients with one of six age-prescribed food kits each month through a network of local charitable organizations.The program is targeted for seniors 60 years and older, pregnant women, mothers postpartum for up to one year and children ages one to six. Each client must meet age and/or income qualifications required by the USDA. Qualified clients will receive one of six age-prescribed food kits on a monthly basis.
Through CSFP, the Foodbank currently provides food kits for more than 9,000 people, primarily senior citizens, at 45 agency sites. Thanks to an increased USDA case load for this program, the Foodbank will be expanding its reach to serve 20,000 seniors through CSFP this year.
While this program is primarily funded by the USDA, donated funds can be used to help the Foodbank supplement the USDA food provided with fresh produce and dairy products.
