Guidelines change for emergency food program

Income guidelines change for emergency food program

As of March 18, 2013, income guidelines have been adjusted to allow more individuals and families to be served by TEFAP. The Emergency Food Assistance Program provides low-income Plymouth and Northville residents with canned, non-perishable, and perishable items.

The next distribution is scheduled for Thursday, July 18, at St. Kenneth Catholic Church.

All recipients must pre-register at the Plymouth Community United Way office, 960 W. Ann Arbor Trail, Ste. 2, Plymouth.

This is a supplemental food program so it may be used in addition to other assistance programs. Bridge Card holders automatically quality, but need to register. Recipients not currently on governmental assistance (food stamps, ADC and general) need to provide documentation including proof of income and residency before receiving food.
