The Emergency Food Assistance Program: Information for Providers

Possible federal government shutdown – TEFAP is operating

DHS is closely monitoring all of the activities occurring at the federal level, including the possibility of a government shutdown. Our goal is to keep the public informed, especially our TEFAP partners. In the event of a federal government shutdown on Friday, March 14, DHS wants to assure our partners that funding is available for the immediate future. DHS will share information as it becomes available.
