Food and Nutrition Program

EICAP warehouses USDA Commodities and donated food in Idaho Falls. We distribute either monthly or weekly to 13 different pantries in our services area.

Our warehouse does not distribute food directly to individuals. If you live in Idaho Falls and need food, our agency can provide a food box referral to the Idaho Falls Community Food Bank.

Necessary information to receive a referral include:

  • Photo identification
  • One month's income verification

In order to be eligible for food assistance, a household must meet the following income eligibility (Effective July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011):
