CSFP Senior food box 60+
Serving Seniors with a Monthly Food Package
The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) works to improve the health of low-income persons at least 60 years of age or better, by supplementing their diets with nutritious USDA Foods. Every month, they receive a box of good-for-you foods such as cheese, milk, juice, oats, cereal, rice, pasta, peanut butter, beans, meat, fish, and canned fruits and vegetables.
Participant Eligibility Requirements for Seniors
Participants must be at least 60 years of age and reside in one of the states or on one of the Indian reservations that participate in CSFP. States may establish local residency requirements based on designated service areas (but may not require a minimum period of residency). States may also require that participants be at nutritional risk, as determined by a physician or by local agency staff.
Income Eligibility Guidelines
States establish income limits for the elderly that are at or below 130 percent of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines. States establish income limits for the children who remain on the program that are at or below 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines, but not below 100 percent of these guidelines.
