CalFresh is the place to start if you need help with buying food. It’s a nutrition program that helps people buy food. You’ll need to apply online at https://www.getcalfresh.org/ or by calling 1-877-847-3663. If you’re eligible, you’ll receive a debit card that can be used at most grocery stores. Please contact your Bright Star counselor if you need help submitting a CalFresh application.

If you are in immediate need of food assistance, please dial 2-1-1 from a phone and speak with someone about services available in your area (2-1-1 is a three-digit dialing code, similar to 4-1-1). Lines are open 24 hours a day. Most but not all areas provide 2-1-1 phone support.
