TEFAP Recipient Agencies
The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) is administered in Florida by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Florida is separated into 20 regions for the distribution of TEFAP foods. Each region is serviced by one Recipient Agency or (RA). The RA is responsible for the distribution and administration of all TEFAP foods and/or funds in the region.
To be eligible to receive TEFAP foods, an organization:
- Must be public or, if private, must possess tax-exempt status pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code (if it does not have a letter of tax exemption from the Internal Revenue Service, it must be automatically tax exempt as “organized or operated exclusively for religious purposes” under the Internal Revenue Code);
- Must not be a penal institution; and
- Must provide food assistance exclusively to needy persons for household consumption or predominantly to needy persons in the form of prepared meals.
