Laramie Interfaith will offering its monthly distribution of government commodity food
(TEFAP) this Friday, August 26th. The distribution will take place in the parking lot of Laramie Interfaith (712 E Canby St), from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The food pantry will be closed on Friday, and the public will not be able to access items in the regular pantry, such as pet food, diapers and bread. Food Bank of Wyoming is the delivery agency for TEFAP across the state, making up 23 percent of all food the organization distributes.

TEFAP is a federal assistance program that provides 100 percent American-grown food products to low-income Americans. The program is run through the USDA Food Program and funded through the federal budget. The amount of food and assistance provided to states is based on the number of unemployed persons in the state and the number of people estimated to be below the poverty level of that state.
