Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) for Seniors

Everyone deserves to be able to access nutritious food. The Commodity Supplemental Food Program provides monthly boxes to seniors aged 60+ living in Davidson County with incomes lower than 130% of the federal poverty level. Second Harvest manages this USDA-funded program on behalf of the Tennessee Department of Health. ​​Davidson County residents can enroll and learn more about specific pickup locations by contacting Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee at (615) 329-3491.

Bette’s CSFP Story: “They saved my life”

Bette White was enrolled in CSFP through Second Harvest and spent months building a trusted relationship with Jess, a Federal Program Client Liaison with Second Harvest, who delivered her box each month. When Bette didn’t answer her door one day, Jess became a true life-saver. Bette had fallen three days prior and had been unable to move or call for help.

“I did everything possible to lift myself up, and I couldn’t for three days. Then, I heard this beautiful voice – Jess from Second Harvest,” says Bette. “They saved my life.”
