USDA food

Supplemental food, no ID required

Each month we receive supplemental food from the USDA through The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). It's shared equally with every household that receives SNAP (food stamps), or meets the income guidelines.

No ID is required to receive USDA food. A household is a group of people who live together and share money and other resources to get food.

Income guidelines

NC guidelines at 200% of the 2026 federal poverty level (revised Feb 18, 2026) · household gross income must be below the level for its size
