Do you sometimes have to choose between buying food and paying bills?

If you answered yes, the Commodity Supplemental Food Program can help!






Are you are a parent of a child under age 6 and live in a household with a gross annual income at or below 185% of the federal poverty level and not participating in WIC? You can get a monthly food package containing nutritious, common foods that you can use to make your food budget stretch a little further.
