The federal Formula Grant award of $534,364 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service supports the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) Administrative Costs (CFDA 10.568). This one-year grant, effective October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026, provides funding to the State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services to cover operational costs associated with storing, handling, and distributing USDA commodity foods to low-income individuals and households across Wisconsin through local organizations such as food banks, soup kitchens, and emergency shelters.
The State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services has awarded a series of TEFAP-related sub-grants, totaling over $1 million, to various non-profit organizations throughout the state to facilitate food distribution, inventory management, transportation, and partnerships with local feeding programs. Key sub-grantees include Advocap Inc., Wisconsin Community Action Program Association, Central Wisconsin Community Action, Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin, and multiple other regional food banks and community action agencies. These sub-awards enable the local organizations to cover storage, logistics, and operational expenses necessary for delivering emergency food assistance to vulnerable populations across Wisconsin.
