Commodities Supplemental Food Program

In 2000, the North Texas Food Bank became the first Commodities Supplemental Food Program (also known locally as People and Nutrition, or PAN) distributor in Texas. The program provides surplus USDA commodities for low income Dallas County residents who meet certain requirements, such as being 60 years old or older, children under six not receiving assistance from WIC (Women, Infants and Children Program), or pregnant, breastfeeding or postpartum women not receiving assistance from WIC. PAN is a partnership of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Texas Department of Agriculture and the North Texas Food Bank.
