Community Supplemental Food Program (CSFP)

This is a federal nutrition assistance program that provides low-income, elderly individuals with a monthly box of food. The box does not contain a complete diet but provides nutrients typically lacking in the diets of the elderly population. It includes a variety of foods, such as cheese; nonfat dry and Ultra High Temperature (UHT) milk; juice; oats and ready-to-eat cereal; rice and pasta; peanut butter; dry beans or peas; canned meat, poultry, or fish; and canned fruits and vegetables. All of Ohio’s 88 counties participate in CSFP. To learn more, review this map and call you county representative.
