| Appropriations FY 2009: Annual Food and Nutrition Program Funding |
||
Some food and nutrition programs are discretionary (not mandated by law) and are subject to annual appropriations in such amounts as the subcommittee and Congress chooses. Entitlement and mandatory programs are generally not subject to annual appropriations and are automatically funded at predetermined levels. Discretionary programs include the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) Administrative Support (funding for transportation and storage). TEFAP Commodity Purchases is a mandatory program. Also considered discretionary are the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) and the WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program. The Community Food and Nutrition Program (CFNP), also a discretionary program, is funded under the Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Subcommittees. Leave Behinds
