Because TEFAP is supported in whole or in part by financial assistance from the
Federal Government, we are required to let you know that—
• We may not discriminate against you on the basis of religion or religious
belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or a refusal to attend or
participate in a religious practice;
• We may not require you to attend or participate in any explicitly
religious activities that are offered by us, and any participation by you in
these activities must be purely voluntary;
• We must separate in time or location any privately funded explicitly
religious activities from activities supported with USDA direct
assistance;
• If you object to the religious character of our organization, we must
make reasonable efforts to identify and refer you to an alternate provider
to which you have no objection. We cannot guarantee, however, that in
every instance, an alternate provider will be available; and
• You may report violations of these protections (including denials of
services or benefits) by an organization to the State agency
(http://www.fns.usda.gov/fdd/food-distribution-contacts). The State
agency will respond to the complaint and report the alleged violations to
their respective USDA FNS Regional Office
(http://www.fns.usda.gov/fns-regional-offices).

We must provide you with this written notice before you enroll in TEFAP or
receive services from TEFAP, as required by 7 CFR part 16.
