CalFresh
CalFresh, known federally as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP, provides monthly food benefits to individuals and families with low-income and provides economic benefits to communities. CalFresh is the largest food program in California and provides an essential hunger safety net. The amount of benefits a household receives is dependent on household size countable income, and monthly expenses, such as housing and utilities. The program issues monthly benefits on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. Food may be purchased at any grocery store or farmers market that accepts EBT cards.
To learn more about CalFresh, visit cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/calfresh. You can also contact the CalFresh Benefits Helpline at 1-877-3663.
To apply for CalFresh, visit the LA County Department of Social Services website for information on eligibility and how to apply, and apply online via BenefitsCal, via phone at (866) 613-3777, or in person at a DPSS district office or outreach site.
