Summer can be a challenging time for families as children may have fewer opportunities to receive meals through school-based programs. Community partners play an important role in helping individuals and families access food resources and support services in their area.
ਤੁਸੀਂ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਮਦਦ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੇ ਹੋ
We encourage partners to share information about food resources, including:
- ਸਨ ਬਕਸ: A summer food program that helps eligible families buy groceries for school-aged children.
- CalFresh: A program that helps individuals and families purchase healthy food.
- ਡਬਲਯੂ.ਆਈ.ਸੀ: A nutrition program for eligible women, infants and children up to age 5.
- ਸਥਾਨਕ ਫੂਡ ਬੈਂਕ: Community food banks may offer fresh food and help families apply for CalFresh.
- 211: Families can call 211 or text their ZIP code to 898211 to find nearby food resources.
- Alliance Community Supports: Some members may qualify for food support, such as medically tailored meals or meal delivery, if they have a medical need.
Please share the Alliance’s summer food resources for families blog with community members who may benefit from these programs and services.
Together, we can help connect families to nutritious food and support healthier communities across our service area.
