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.

The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) program provides monthly food boxes to over 1,000 low-income seniors in four counties in the HHFB service area. Brown, Martin, Monroe and Orange counties are currently served. Boxes generally include approximately 40lbs of high protein items, grains, vegetables, juices, canned meat or peanut butter, powdered or evaporated milk, a 2lb block of cheese, recipes, and nutrition information.
