The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) provides USDA-donated food to low-income seniors through monthly CSFP/senior boxes. Philabundance packs and delivers CSFP/senior boxes on a monthly basis to locations across Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties.

Philabundance provided 3623 seniors with monthly CSFP/senior boxes in 2009. In 2010, due to an increase in funding, we are happy to have 8800 boxes available. Philabundance will be partnering with the Share Food Program of Philadelphia to build monthly CSFP/senior boxes.

Boxes are distributed through a variety of local agencies, food pantries, senior centers and housing complexes. Interested seniors can call the Philabundance Food Help Line 800-319-Food (3663) to be directed to a CSFP/senior box location near them.

Boxes contain ~30 lbs of canned and boxed food including vegetables, fruit, juice, pasta, milk, cereal, canned meat and a non-meat protein. Each box is also accompanied by fresh cheese. A nutritional newsletter containing recipes and information is included in each box.

To qualify for the program, participants must be:

• 60 years or older
• Receiving an income that is at or below 130% of the poverty line (see income eligibility chart below)
• A resident of PA (specifically Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Philadelphia or Montgomery County)

*Find the number of people in your household.  If your combined income is less than the amount listed, you meet the income eligibility requirement.
