Yahoo FinanceThe American Rescue Plan provided an additional $37 million to boost a program for elderly citizens who might need extra help with groceries and food each month.
The Commodity Supplemental Food Program provides low-income elderly individuals with supplemental nutritious food from the U.S. Department of Agriculture each month. The monthly packages of food do not include whole meals and meal packages but rather supply supplemental food products that are “good sources of the nutrients typically lacking in the diets of the beneficiary population.”
The CSFP program supplies a variety of food, like grains, oatmeal, corn grits, beans, peanut butter, canned chicken, beef and tuna and canned low-sodium vegetables like corn and peas.
Details on all the foods available through the program can be found on the U.S.D.A Food and Nutrition Service website.
