The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) distributes federal surplus
foods to emergency food pantries and needy households. The program operates
in a partnership with local governments and community organizations in all
of the State’s 24 jurisdictions. In federal fiscal year 2004 (FFY 2004), the
U.S. Department of Agriculture provided 386 emergency food pantries, soup
kitchens, and shelters with 4,711,598 pounds of commodities. These commodities
provide a base supply for emergency feeding locations, enabling these sites to
use their resources for the purchase of additional foods. Also, more than 350,000
households in Maryland received TEFAP commodities in FFY 2004.
