Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP)

Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) is a state-funded program, which works to improve the health of low-income pregnant and breastfeeding women, other new mothers up to one year postpartum, infants, children up to age six, and elderly people at least 60 years of age by supplementing their diets with nutritious USDA commodity foods.

The population served by CSFP is similar to that served by USDA's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), but CSFP also serves elderly people, and provides food rather than the food vouchers that WIC participants receive. Eligible people cannot participate in both programs at the same time.

CSFP food packages do not provide a complete diet, but rather are good sources of the nutrients typically lacking in the diets of the target population. Proper nutrition and health care are very important to the growth and development of children. This is especially important during pregnancy and early childhood. Proper nutrition is also important in maintaining the health of senior citizens. It is for this reason that we provide commodity foods.

The typical food package distributed to a client includes evaporated milk, nonfat dry milk, cereal, pasta product, peanut butter or dry beans, canned meat, canned vegetables, canned fruit, cheese, and juice.

• Infants receive baby formula, infant cereal, and juice
• Children, pregnant women, post partum and nursing mothers receive a larger food package than other clients
