Catholic Charities and CalFresh help people access healthy and nutritious food.
Our bilingual staff can help you with your CalFresh application, as well as assist with reporting and recertification of CalFresh benefits.
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.
Once you have applied, you can designate us as a helper to speak to the county about your application. CalFresh issues monthly benefits on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. EBT cardholders can then purchase food at grocery stores and farmers markets that accept EBT payments. See the resource section below for useful EBT cardholder links.
CalFresh is California’s federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-SNAP. SNAP is formerly known as food stamps. To find out more about the program, please call us at 831-393-3110
