CALFRESH HEALTHY LIVING

The CalFresh Healthy Living program is a statewide program that promotes well-being for people across California. More than one-third of California residents are eligible for CalFresh Healthy Living, which strives to improve the health of Californians through education and healthy community changes. In 2013, San Diego County began providing CalFresh Healthy Living services. The program helps San Diego County residents by sharing nutrition education, promoting physical activity, improving access to healthy foods, and many other activities. Check out some of our local CalFresh Healthy Living efforts and education opportunities below.
