Cómo solicitar The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) — free USDA food boxes en Arizona

Para quién es

TEFAP gives free USDA food to low-income Arizonans. A household can get a food package at least once a month from a local distribution site (food pantry). Packages hold shelf-stable foods like canned fruits, vegetables and beans, often with fresh produce, bread or meat. You qualify if your household's gross income is at or below 185% of the federal poverty level — $29,526 a year for one person or $40,034 for two in the DES table. Bring a photo ID to the site, where a worker takes your information and you confirm your income. If you are homebound, call your local site to ask about other ways to apply or home delivery. Hot meals at soup kitchens have no income test.
