Iowa families who qualify for the Healthy Kids Iowa Pilot Program get expanded access to additional food throughout June, July, and August, such as fruits, vegetables, dairy items, grains, and proteins.

Eligible families do not need to register or do anything before arriving during the Healthy Kids Iowa distribution time at the site locations. Sites will also be able to establish eligibility during their distribution time.

Requirements:

  • Households at 185% or below the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).
  • Households with children aged 4-18.
  • Households that have already self-attested to eligibility for The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) with children aged 4 to 18 are eligible to participate in this program.

How Does It Work?

  1. Families will visit their local participating pantry and complete the TEFAP application at each site and self-attest to eligibility to be approved for the program. Each child will receive up to $40 of healthy foods per month for the months of June, July, and August.
  2. Healthy Kids Iowa food is only available once per month, per eligible child, for the months of June, July, and August.
  3. Eligible children may only visit one site per month for Healthy Kids Iowa foods.
