The Emergency Food Assistance
Food pantries, homeless shelters, soup kitchens and non-profi t charitable organizations throughout Hillsborough County stock their shelves and feed their clientele with commodities from The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). We regularly distribute thousands of pounds of food right from our warehouse docks. Items like spaghetti sauce, tuna, dried cherries, beef stew and carrots are shipped to New Hampshire by the USDA for us to distribute to those in need. 21 food pantries, 2 soup kitchens, 3 homeless shelters, and 6 charitable institutions participate in TEFAP and benefi t from the quarterly and bonus food distributions.
