CalFresh Outreach
CalFresh Outreach Work
Fresno Metro’s CalFresh Outreach team teaches people eligible for SNAP about good nutrition and how to make their food dollars stretch further. If you need assistance applying for CalFresh benefits, our talented CalFresh Outreach team can help. As advocates, one of our primary goals is to bring food resources to the under-served and un-served populations in both urban and rural areas of Fresno County.
About CalFresh
CalFresh is California's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that awards those who are eligible with monthly grocery benefits based on individual need to help supplement their food budget and buy food. CalFresh Food benefits are the convenient way to get grocery help when you need it most. You can use them in stores, online, and at most farmers markets.
