Food Resources for Transition-Age Youth in California

CalFresh benefits have been delayed as of November 1, 2025, caused by the federal shutdown. CalFresh is California’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

When federal funding for benefits resumes, there will likely be a week-long delay until CalFresh participants have access to the funds. Communities across the state are organizing to address food insecurity, and while these resources will not match the level of support available statewide through CalFresh, they may help bridge the gap in benefits.
