Pantry 279 receives 20 to 25 percent of its food from the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), a federal program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and distributed via Hoosier Hills Food Bank. In the last week of March, the pantry was shocked when Hoosier Hills Food Bank announced that 62,000 pounds of eggs, meat, and produce that it was expecting from TEFAP had been sent back. “Where did the food go? We don’t know,” said Cindy Chavez, Pantry 279’s executive director.
