Access to healthy food is essential for every family. Whether facing changes in routine or challenges with rising costs, many community members may need extra support throughout the year.
Please share these food resources with members who may benefit:
- CalFresh – Encourage members to apply for monthly food benefits to help stretch their food budget. Those interested can apply for CalFresh benefits online or by calling their county’s CalFresh office.
- Local food banks – Refer members to local food banks where they can pick up fresh food and get help applying for CalFresh. Visit our website to see a list of local food banks in our service areas.
- School districts – Suggest members contact their local school district to see if they are offering summer food programs. They can also check out the California Department of Education’s Summer Meal Sites page for other locations where children can get free meals.
- Local farmers markets – Let members know they can find local farmers markets that accept CalFresh.
- SUN Program. – Share information about the SUN program, which offers summer nutrition programs for kids.
Thank you for helping us advance our mission of healthy people, healthy communities!
