CSFP (commodities) food distribution canceled for June

The Council Grove Republican learned Tuesday that the Commodity Supplemental Food Program will not hold its monthly food distribution in June.

Local co-facilitator Rick Haug said it appears the State of Kansas is making changes to some aspects of the program. Program leaders expect to know more later this month.

CSFP provides a monthly food package to low-income residents, age 60 and older who live within the 53-county service area. Packages include food from 10 food groups, including cheese and shelf-stable milk.

The program serves seniors, benefit recipients and low-income residents through food delivery services.
