Nutrition: Commodity Supplemental Food Program
End of federal government shutdown – CSFP is operating
The government shutdown is over and the federal government is now open. At this time, there are no immediate impacts to CSFP funding and operations may continue as usual.
The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) works to improve the health of income eligible persons at least 60 years of age by supplementing their diets with nutritious USDA foods. CSFP is distributed monthly to approved participants through community action agencies, food banks, and other nonprofit organizations.
The CSFP package includes fruits and juice, vegetables, cheese, milk, meat, poultry and fish, plant-based proteins, cereals, and pasta, and rice. Nutrition education is also provided to participants to help educate participants on the value of a nutritious diet to improve health.
Do I qualify?
To be eligible to receive CSFP benefits, you must:
- Live in Wisconsin.
- Be aged 60 or older.
- Make a certain amount of money (review table on this page).
Wisconsin allows for automatic CSFP eligibility, regardless of income, for current participation in one of these federal programs:
- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) known as FoodShare in Wisconsin
- Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR)
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
- Low Income Subsidy Program
- Medicare Savings Programs, P-10062 (PDF)
This table is effective as of March 7, 2025, and is based on 150% of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2025 Poverty Guidelines. When reviewing your eligibility, use total gross income (before taxes and deductions) of all household members.
