What we do

The Emergency Food Assistance Program assists local organizations and tribes in providing food to low-income, vulnerable individuals. The Farms to Food Banks program has its own webpage.

Results and Achievements

1.2 million people received emergency food services from local food banks and tribal voucher programs in 2007.

Performance Measures

Increase the amount of nutritious food being distributed through emergency food programs to vulnerable children and adults.

Services

  • Funding for 320 food banks and distribution centers to pay for staff, operational expenses, equipment, and food.
  • Funding for 32 tribes to issue emergency food vouchers and administer food bank programs.
  • Funding for the purchase of food for clients with special dietary needs, such as diabetes, HIV/AIDS, cancer, heart disease, those who are pregnant, or those who have cultural preferences.
  • Training for food bank staff and volunteers across the state so that they can more appropriately provide for the needs of their special dietary needs clients.
