Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP)
Who qualifies for CSFP?
Pregnant women, new moms up to one year postpartum, infants, children
up to 6 years, and seniors over 60 years who are at or below the
CSFP income guidelines or who are already on ATAP, Food Stamps
or Medicaid.
What can I get on CSFP?
A monthly package of nutritious foods including canned meat, vegetables,
fruit, juice, cheese, milk, cereal, peanut butter or beans, pasta,
rice or potatoes. Infants get formula, juice and cereal. You also
receive Nutrition Education.
If I am on WIC can I also be on CSFP?
No. But when your child 'graduates' from WIC at age
5 he or she can be on CSFP for another year, up to age 6. Postpartum
women who go off WIC at 6 months can be on CSFP for another 6
months.
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.
CSFP is available through a pilot project at
the following agencies:
