Commodity Supplemental Food Program
The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) works to improve
the health of low-income seniors by supplementing their diets with nutritious
USDA Foods. In Pennsylvania, eligible participants include low-income
individuals who are at least 60 years old and whose household income is at or
below 130 percent of the U.S. poverty level.
CSFP food packages do
not provide a complete diet, but rather are good sources of the nutrients
typically lacking in the diets of older Americans. Among the types of
foods included in the food packages are: non-fat dry and evaporated milk,
juice, grains, pasta, proteins, and canned fruits and vegetables. The USDA
purchases the food and makes it available to the Bureau of Food Distribution,
which works with local non-profit agencies to facilitate distribution of the
monthly food boxes to eligible participants
Questions on this program should be directed
