The Commodity Supplemental Food Program is a Federally funded program, which works to improve the health of low-income pregnant and breastfeeding women, other new mothers up to one year postpartum, infants, children up to age six, and elderly people at least 60 years of age by supplementing their diets with nutritious USDA commodity foods.
It provides food and administrative funds to States to supplement the diets of these groups.
