Tell Budget Leaders We Need Food4All!

We are requesting an ongoing budget investment that builds on the allocations made in the Governor’s budget proposal to expand CFAP nutrition benefits to all Californians with low income currently ineligible for CalFresh solely due to their immigration status. No exceptions. No exclusions.

Urge Congress to Support the WIC Bump!

Without action from Congress, families will soon have fewer WIC benefits.
