San Mateo County Encourages Residents to Learn More About CalFresh and Apply for Food Assistance
Redwood City – Did you know that thousands of San Mateo County residents could receive help putting nutritious food on the table but haven’t applied for assistance?
To get the word out, County officials are expanding efforts to raise awareness and dispel myths about CalFresh, which helps low-income households increase their food-buying power to meet their household’s nutritional needs.
Outreach teams will be at community events, farmers markets, grocery stores and elsewhere across San Mateo County throughout May, which is CalFresh Awareness Month.
