If a State operated for less than a full year, its annual average does not include non-operating months (e.g., if it operated for two month, the annual participation sum is divided by two rather than twelve). Consequently, the sum of the States exceeds the Total for most years.  In FY 2005, Louisiana participation is an 8 month average; there was no activity in September due to Hurricane Katrina.  In FY 2006, its participation gradually rose from under 6,000 in the initial month to 62,000 during the last two months. 

CSFP was originally a food distribution alternative to the WIC Program which provided supplemental food packages to women, infants and children.  It began serving elderly persons on a pilot basis in FY 1982. By FY 1999, most participants were elderly. 

FY 2007 data are preliminary; all data are subject to revision.
