What is one of the primary functions of the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP)?

The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) primarily focuses on distributing food and providing nutrition education to low-income individuals, particularly targeting seniors and women with young children. Through the program, eligible participants receive monthly food packages that include nutritious foods aimed at addressing food insecurity and improving their overall health. In addition to food distribution, the program emphasizes nutrition education to help recipients make informed choices about their diets, understand the importance of balanced nutrition, and ultimately improve health outcomes. This dual approach—providing both food and education—is essential for empowering individuals and families to lead healthier lives.
