NYCP’s Nourish program is part of the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), which works to improve the health of low-income people 60 years of age or older.
The CSFP distributes a monthly package to eligible seniors. The food packages include a variety of shelf-stable food, such as milk, juice, farina, oats, ready-to-eat cereal, rice, pasta, peanut butter, dry beans, canned poultry or fish, and canned fruits and vegetables. The package includes 2 lbs. of American Cheese that needs to be refrigerated.
Nourish also provides guidance for preparing nutritious meals, dissemination of nutrition and health information by nutritionists, and referral to health care and social service agencies for other needed services.
The CSFP eligibility requirements a senior needs to meet to participate in the program:
- The applicant must be 60 years of age or older.
- The applicant must reside in New York State.
- The applicant must present a valid photo identification.
- The income of the household must not exceed 130 percent of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines.
Most seniors who qualify for SNAP will be eligible for Nourish. Once a senior is signed up, they can receive a food package on a monthly basis.
