In United States agricultural law, '''Commodity Assistance Program''' is term used by appropriators to refer to a variety of domestic programs receiving food in the form of USDA supplied commodities.  The term was formalized for the first time in FY1996 appropriations law (P.L. 104-37, October 21, 1995) to refer to the consolidation for funding purposes of three [[commodity donation program]]s that are authorized under two separate statutes: the [[Emergency Food Assistance Program]] (EFAP), [[Soup Kitchen-Food Bank Program]], and the [[Commodity Supplemental Food Program]] (CSFP).
