USDA Senior Food Box pick up locations
The United States Department of Agriculture sponsors multiple federal nutrition programs including two implemented by HHFB in our region. These programs involve the purchase of commodities by the government and the distribution of those food products to the states, who in turn distribute them to those in need through contracts with agencies like HHFB. In Indiana, these programs reside in the Indiana Department of Health (ISOH), which partners with HHFB to distribute the food to agencies.
The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) program increases HHFB’s capacity to supply those most in need with healthy food. Food is supplied by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and distributed to food pantries and soup kitchens in 6 counties.
To find local agencies, please visit our Find Food page.
The Shoals, Orleans, Bedford, and Mitchell CSFP pickups are at the same time & place as the mobile pantries in those areas.
