CalFresh (EBT)

We know how challenging it can be to afford healthy groceries while balancing school and other responsibilities. That’s why we want to encourage you to look into CalFresh, a program that could put up to $292 a month toward your grocery budget!

What is CalFresh?

CalFresh (EBT) helps students like you buy food. It won’t impact your financial aid, and applying is quick and easy. Think of it as a free debit card for groceries!

Who qualifies?

On average, 2 in 5 students are eligible for CalFresh. If you’re a part-time worker, responsible for the care of a dependent, approved for work-study, or enrolled in a Career and Technical Education Major (CTE), English as a Second Language, Adult Basic Education, or a job skills training program, there’s a chance you qualify.

How do I apply?

We are here to help! Apply with one-on-one assistance from Maddie’s Food Pantry. We will try to make the application process simple and easy for you and we will walk through each step together.
