Morey explains that CalFresh is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201ca small boost to help adults and families save on groceries, especially when working through challenging life circumstances. CalFresh is a great program to fill the gaps for families who need a little support. However, it is a critical resource many are not aware of, or may have misconceptions about.\u201c\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Encouraged by No Kid Hungry and neighboring counties who also run their own CalFresh Outreach Challenge, Morey built stronger relationships with school nutrition directors in the county as well as Riverside County\u2019s Department of Public Social Services. Morey has a call to action for partners. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAs a partner, your support and advocacy is so necessary! The commitment can be as minimal or extensive as you like. Even simple efforts to promote CalFresh and WIC can be very impactful in the life of a child. We are here to help in any way possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A big congratulations to the Riverside County CalFresh Outreach Challenge winners: Romoland
