Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP)

For low-income individuals, particularly seniors aged 60 and above who are at risk of malnutrition, CRS offers the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). This USDA program provides monthly distributions of nutritious food items to supplement their diet and help stretch their food dollars. Participation in CSFP is free for agencies like CRS, but requires verification of the client’s income and identity. Additionally, agencies must adhere to reporting and monitoring requirements to ensure that the program is effectively meeting the needs of our senior community members.
