This is a federal program that helps supplement the diets of low-income people by providing them with emergency food assistance at no cost. USDA provides 100% American-grown USDA Foods and administrative funds to states to operate TEFAP. States provide the food to local agencies that they have selected, usually food banks, which in turn distribute the food to soup kitchens and food pantries that directly serve the public.

This is a meal delivery service that allows people to customize their own meals specific to their dietary needs and preferences. Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plan members are eligible for government or health plan assistance to receive home-delivered meals from Mom’s Meals at little or no cost. Many other health plans or local benefits programs will help pay for this service too.
