Commodity Supplemental Food Program
St. Vincent de Paul operates the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (mt.gov) under contract with the Montana Department of Health and Human Services. Commodities is open to low income Montana residents age 60 and above who meet the income requirements. Income limits change each year and are set at 130% of the poverty level. The monthly food package is meant to supplement a senior’s existing diet with nutritious USDA foods to improve their health and reduce food insecurity.

A typical Commodities Food Package will contain Dairy (cheese & shelf stable milk/powdered milk), Plant Based Proteins (peanut butter, dried or canned lentils and beans), Cereals (hot or cold), Pasta & Rice, canned Vegetables & Fruits, Juice, and canned Beef, Fish or Chicken.
