Northern Tier Community Action Corporation Head Start

 · Anyone who is currently out of work due to COVID-19 and currently has NO income is eligible for State Food Purchase Program (SFPP) and The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP.) On the self-declaration of need form, they can simply circle $0 as they have no income. However, they should be advised that if/when their income resumes, they would need to fill out new paperwork and declare that if they intend to continue to obtain food through these programs. 

 Similarly, anyone who has lost hours, etc. because of COVID-19 and has a reduced income may be eligible for SFPP and TEFAP. On the self-declaration of need form, they should circle the income level that currently reflects their new (and potentially temporary) circumstances. As noted above, once their income picks back up, they would need to fill out new paperwork and declare that if they intend to continue to obtain food through these programs. 

 If you have any questions, please let us or your local food bank know!
