CalFresh Outreach in Schools

No Kid Hungry is working with state, county, schools, and community organizations across California to bring awareness, dispel myths and assist families with CalFresh. 

The CalFresh Outreach Challenge was created in partnership with community organizations and public health departments of Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties.

We encouraged school districts to incorporate a CalFresh “button”* linking directly to the application on their websites.

*California Senate Bill 708 (Mendoza, 2015) mandates that local educational agencies (LEAs) who have their school meal applications available online to include a link to the CalFresh application on their websites.

Resources by Counties

The CalFresh Outreach Social Marketing Toolkit was created to help partners get the word out to families about CalFresh food benefits. This toolkit includes a variety of ready to use assets to help you quickly and easily communicate with families. The social marketing toolkit includes social media graphics and social media posts in 13 languages. The graphics are designed for Instagram and can be used for Twitter and Facebook as well.
