State-by-State Variances in TEFAP & CSFP and the Policy Behind It!

_____________________________

This webinar will discuss the reasons why TEFAP and CSFP operate differently from state-to-state and explore ways that advocates can work together with their state agencies to strengthen the programs in their states. We will outline the key federal regulations that guide the program, explain state plans and operational variances across states, and showcase examples of how advocates have identified opportunities to increase access and ease of administration in their communities.
