May is CalFresh Awareness Month!

CalFresh, also known as SNAP or Food Stamps, is not only the cornerstone of our nation’s food assistance system, it’s the model of what a successful public program looks like.

CalFresh is our strongest, safest, and most dignified solution to hunger.

Join us as we celebrate and spread awareness of this incredible program that is our best tool for fighting hunger in our country.
