What is CalFresh?
CalFresh is California’s version of SNAP, helping low-income individuals and families buy nutritious food by providing monthly benefits through EBT cards that work like debit cards.
- CalFresh helps individuals and families afford nutritious foods.
- Benefits stretch food budgets to include more fruits, vegetables, and healthy items.
- Benefit amounts depend on household size, income, and expenses.
- Monthly benefits are issued via EBT cards, which are usable at stores and farmers' markets that accept them.
