Food Distribution Program

Contact:  (517) 373-4336


The Food Distribution Program has administrative responsibility for the receipt and distribution of both food and funds that are supplied through the United States Department of Agriculture. The recipients include schools, residential child care facilities, summer camps, and low income citizens in need of food assistance. The annual value of the food purchased by the federal agency for distribution to schools that participate in the National School Lunch Program in Michigan equates to over $25 million. Two other food assistance programs administered through this unit are The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). Both of these programs are national in scope and were designed to provide food to low income families (TEFAP) and to Mothers, Infants, and Children and Seniors (CSFP). TEFAP is available to all of the state's low income residents and the CSFP is currently available in 54 counties. Collectively, these programs provide food assistance to over 250,000 households each year.
