Food banks, pantries, shelters and soup kitchens that provide The Emergency Food Assistance Program through state or county contracts can apply to the state for TEFAP Reach and Resiliency Grants.

A total of $1.6 million in program grant money is available from the Department of Community and Economic Development to expand access to emergency food assistance in isolated or underserved rural or low-income communities.

Funded projects may include expanded cold storage, warehouse space and equipment, delivery vehicles for food distribution, and materials to publicize the availability of TEFAP foods.
