CalFresh Progam

CID assist eligible consumers in San Mateo County get access to CalFresh food benefits. CalFresh, formerly known as food stamps, is a federally funded program for low-income individuals and families. CalFresh is California’s version of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The program provides monthly food assistances via Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards. Households can use these benefits to buy food such as fruits, vegetables, breads, milk, and other dairy products. EBT cards can be used in grocery stores, farmers market, and other participating stores.

CID’s Independent Living Generalists can provide information about CalFresh and help with screening and application.
