Need Help Getting Food?
If you or someone you know needs food, there are programs and people who can help.
Here are three ways, from CA SCDD, to find food in your community and get current updates.
-Call 2-1-1
Dial 2-1-1 anytime, day or night. You’ll be connected with someone who can help you find free food and local resources in your area. Most areas in California offer this free service.
-Get Updates from CalFresh
If you already get CalFresh benefits, visit the CDSS CalFresh website https://www.cdss.ca.gov/calfresh or call the Customer Service Center at 1-877-847-3663 for the latest updates.
-Contact a Local Food Bank
California has 42 food banks that give out food and connect people to other helpful services. Food banks are community nonprofits that provide free groceries, fresh produce, and connections to other local help.
