Stockbox (CSFP)
Commodity Supplemental Food Program

What is CSFP?
CSFP is a government program which supplements the diets of older adults (ages 60-plus), low-income mothers (up to one year postpartum) and children up to age six who are not receiving WIC. The goal of the program is to improve the health of low-income people especially at risk of malnutrition. Enrolled recipients pick up a monthly food box from their residential complex or an emergency food pantry. The food package includes foods like canned fruits and vegetables, juice, dry and canned milk, cheese, canned meats, peanut butter or dried beans, cereal, and rice, instant potatoes or pasta.

Hunger Task Force has operated the program, locally branded as "Stockbox" since 2001, feeding more than 5,000 low-income seniors each month in Milwaukee County.
