These funds have continued to be made available as a line item in the State Service Centers budget for this important purpose. The current providers of these services statewide are Food Bank of Delaware and Catholic Charities.\nContractor information can be found at the following link: \n<a href=\"http:\/\/contracts.delaware.gov\/contracts_detail.asp?i=4204\">Community Food and Nutrition Program Services<\/a>.\n<p>\n<\/p>\n  For further information, contact the <a href=\"http:\/\/cms-internet.dhss.state.de.us\/dss\/ofclocations.html\">State Service\n  Centers.<\/a>\n  <!--[END]-->\n  \n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div><!-- \/container -->\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen Food Closet Social Services Menu Home About About DSS Sections &#038; Programs FAQs Contact Information Office Locations Services ASSIST Cash Assistance General Assistance Refugee Cash Assistance Temporary Assistance (TANF) Food Supplement Program Child Care Income and Eligibility Information Regulations Publications &#038; Forms Reports &#038; Statistics Member agencies of the Food Bank of Delaware distribute [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-446","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dhss.delaware.gov\/dss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dhss.delaware.gov\/dss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dhss.delaware.gov\/dss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dhss.delaware.gov\/dss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dhss.delaware.gov\/dss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=446"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dhss.delaware.gov\/dss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/446\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dhss.delaware.gov\/dss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
