About This Program
CAC’s food bank serves as the backbone of our food security programs, supporting the Dane County Food Pantry Network (DCFPN), the Jefferson County Food Pantry Coalition, and food distribution to sites in Waukesha County.
We participate in The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), a federally funded food program administered through the State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services. TEFAP is a program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and provides food for pantry shelves and meal sites in Jefferson and Waukesha counties.
For more information from CAC, contact our Food Bank at cacfoodbank@cacscw.org or our intake line at (608) 237-1255.
If your certified non-profit organization would like to learn more about becoming a TEFAP partner, please submit a completed Food Bank Agreement form (PDF | Word) and/or contact cacfoodbank@cacscw.org.
