The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Iola, Kansas, is dedicated to alleviating hunger by providing free USDA commodity foods to low-income households across the state. We believe that everyone deserves access to nutritious food, and our program is designed to meet basic nutritional needs through regular shipments of essential items such as canned vegetables, fruits, juices, cereals, and proteins like meat and peanut butter. Each participating household can benefit from a minimum of four to a maximum of ten food items per distribution, which occurs five to six times a year at local organizations. To access these vital food assistance services, individuals must apply in their home county, ensuring that help is readily available to those in need within our community.
