CalFresh, formerly called Food Stamps is a nutrition assistance program that allows low income families to purchase nutritious and healthy food. The Food Bank Coalition offers pre-screenings and application assistance so that families no longer have to choose between purchasing food to eat and paying for basic life necessities.
In 2012 we are expanding from Food Pantry Outreach into Grocery Outlet Outreach. We have begun partnering with local grocery discount markets throughout the county to reach low income shoppers to help them purchase quality nutritious food through the CalFresh program. Please contact Debbie Bilek at (805) 835-1355 for more information. Se habla espanol.

I have volunteered at the distribution site at Mercy Church with our entire Human Resources team, and I have also had the opportunity to participate in GleanSLO. I love the Food Bank and its passion to meet the needs of many individuals and families in SLO County." - Jenny Morgan
