Disaster CalFresh (D-CalFresh)

Disaster CalFresh (D-CalFresh) is a vital program in San Mateo, CA, designed to help individuals and families affected by natural disasters such as floods, fires, and earthquakes by addressing their urgent nutritional needs.

Your well-being matters, and D-CalFresh is here to ensure you have access to essential nutrition when you need it most.
