The CalFresh food assistance program offers help to 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.
