More than 285,000 San Diego County residents are unenrolled but eligible for CalFresh benefits, according to a newly completed study by the San Diego Hunger Coalition.
In March, the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or CalFresh in California, went back to the pre-pandemic amount, removing at least $95 of monthly food support. Have you been impacted? KPBS wants to hear from you.
On January 15-16, 2023, I attended the School Nutrition Industry Conference in San Diego. There, I met with many of our food industry partners that deliver food to school districts across the country. Food industry partners play a crucial role in producing, procuring and delivering food for our school meal programs. Despite the challenges that industry and school food service operators have encountered over the past few years, we are grateful for everything they do to deliver food and serve nutritious meals to tens of millions of children every day.
