The goal of the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) is to improve the
health of elderly people, at least 60 years of age, by supplementing their diets with
nutritious United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) foods and nutrition education
resources.
Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) manages CSFP, receiving food
and operational funding from USDA for distribution to 12 CSFP lead contractors and
27 counties throughout the state.
While CSFP provides a steady stream of nutritious food, the program is not offered in all
counties due to federal funding limits. WSDA typically leverages the current TEFAP
distribution system for the distribution of CSFP via food pantries and other food
assistance providers.
The food packages provide clients with almost 28 pounds of critically needed food each
month. Participants receive real food and not food vouchers. The focus is on nutritional
supplementation and provides a variety of fruits, vegetables, healthy juices, dairy,
potatoes, cereal, rice, and protein.
Who Can Receive CSFP?
In order to be eligible, you must be an older adult, 60 years of age or older, and your
monthly income must not exceed 130% of the federal poverty level.
