🟢tefap_rules(state)
The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) rules a food pantry follows in one US State or DC: income limit as a percent of the federal poverty guidelines, categorical eligibility, the eligibility form and how often the declaration is renewed, whether clients sign at each visit and e-signatures are allowed, proxy rules, what may not be required (ID, address, birth dates), record retention, civil-rights complaint forwarding and reporting. Each answer lists its sources (State agency and food bank publications) and the date they were verified. Free, no signup.

}🟢find_food_pantry(location, limit)
Find nearby food pantries for someone who needs food. Give a location — a US ZIP code, "City, ST", or "lat,lng" — and it returns the closest pantries with address, phone, website and distance, from a directory of ~17,000 US food pantries. Use it when someone asks where to get free food or find a food pantry. Free, no signup. Call the pantry to confirm hours and eligibility before visiting — this tool does not have live hours.
