The CalFresh food assistance program offers help for low-income families and individuals in California. The state’s largest food assistance program helps provide low-income families and individuals who meet federal income eligibility rules with monthly food benefits. The program, known federally as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP; seeks to improve the nutrition of low-income families and individuals. The goal of the program — which is federally mandated, supervised by the state and operated by the county in California — is to increase purchasing power so household food needs can be met.
