SHOP Domain

Overview

The goal of CalFresh Healthy Living is for all San Diegans to make the healthy, easy choice in places where they shop for food by implementing policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) changes. Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego also supports the SHOP Domain in food assistance sites, food banks, and food pantries.
