Latest CalFresh Program Updates

CalFresh Task Force

The CalFresh Task Force, facilitated by San Diego Hunger Coalition, brings together nonprofits, community based organizations, and the County of San Diego Health & Human Services Agency to make it easier for people to apply for CalFresh, commonly known as Food Stamps.

The Task Force holds monthly meetings where members may get the most up-to-date information about the CalFresh program, share barriers and case issues they currently experience, and learn best practices for providing application assistance.


Upcoming meetings

Countywide CalFresh Task Forces will be quarterly moving forward in 2023.

As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance collaboration, efficiency, and address specific outreach efforts in the county, we have made the decision to transition from our monthly regional meetings to a more focused approach with stakeholder calls. Moving forward, we will be cancelling our regional meetings and hosting focused working groups in their place. We will continue hosting countywide CalFresh Task Force Meetings for 2023. Please remove the Regional CalFresh Task Force meetings from your calendar.
