Serving Older Adults with a Monthly Food Package
The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) works to improve the health of individuals at least 60 years of age by supplementing their diets with nutritious USDA commodity foods. CSFP is a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) funded supplemental food program administered by the Wisconsin Department of Health Service (DHS). The program provides USDA commodities to a network of six food banks, including Community Action Coalition (CAC), to improve the health of seniors in Dane and Jefferson counties by providing them nutritious foods.
This program is important because it provides healthy, shelf-stable foods to low-income older adults within our service area. Hunger and complications for older adults arises due to low-income and having a poor diet. The Stockbox helps by providing nutritious foods, which can ultimately improve the health of our community’s older adults.
Seniors age 60+ and who meet a monthly income requirement depending on their household size may be eligible to receive a monthly Stockbox.
Use total gross income – before taxes and deductions – of ALL household members.
Every 60+ year-old household member is eligible to receive their own monthly food package.
Every month, boxes are packed from federal commodities available to the program. While the contents of the box vary from month to month, they may contain foods like dry cereal, canned chicken, shelf-stable milk, peanut butter or beans, pasta or rice, and cans of fruit and vegetables. Boxes also come with a two-pound package of cheese that requires refrigeration. Each month food is ordered from the USDA warehouse and received by the CAC’s operations staff. The food is packed by staff and volunteers, and the boxes are delivered to each of the distribution sites.
Each box meets the federal nutritional standards for seniors aged 60 and older to thrive. The contents are selected from a USDA-mandated list for seniors to use to make a meal.
