| The
Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) is funded entirely by the United
State Department of Agriculture. Monies are used for commodity purchases
and administrative costs associated with the program. Commodities are stored
at the Mississippi Food Network in Jackson and the Twelve Baskets Food Bank
in Biloxi. The commodities are distributed through food pantries, soup kitchens,
and homeless shelters throughout the state. Inventory and distribution schedules
are controlled by the Food Distribution Administrator housed at MDHS.
