The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service awarded a $1,591,743 formula grant to the Arizona Department of Economic Security (ADES) under the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) Administrative Costs program (CFDA 10.568). This grant, with a performance period from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025, will support ADES in covering the operational expenses associated with storing, handling, and distributing USDA commodity foods to low-income individuals and households across Arizona through local organizations such as food banks, soup kitchens, and emergency shelters. The TEFAP program aims to address food insecurity by providing administrative support for the procurement and distribution of essential food resources to vulnerable populations. ADES, as the state's primary social services agency, will utilize this funding to enhance its extensive network of partnerships with organizations like St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance, Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, and United Food Bank to deliver these critical nutrition assistance services effectively at the community level.
