USDA Resources

Arkansas Foodbank member agencies may participate in the USDA Commodities Program through TEFAP. Eligibility for distribution of USDA commodities is by contract only. Once approved to receive USDA commodities, an agency must comply with all regulations set forth by the Arkansas Department of Human Services.

The variety of products change based on availability.

Agencies ineligible to receive USDA commodities are:
• Snack only programs
