Latest CalFresh Program Updates

CalFresh/SNAP (commonly know as Food Stamps) is our biggest, most efficient tool in the fight against hunger. It enables individuals and families in need to purchase food from local grocers and farmers markets by providing extra money for groceries each month. 

San Diego Hunger Coalition is here to make
CalFresh enrollment as easy as possible.

If you’re someone who needs food assistance or a community partner helping people enroll in CalFresh, we’ve got toolkits, resources, program updates, and more!

Apply for CalFresh:

Individuals are encouraged to apply for CalFresh online using BenefitsCal, over the phone by calling 2-1-1, or at a community-based organization.

Renew CalFresh Benefits:

CalFresh benefits can no longer be renewed on the GetCalFresh platform. They can be renewed on BenefitsCal.

  • If you have a BenefitsCal account, you can submit a SAR-7 form to renew your benefits.

  • If you do not have an account, you can submit a picture of a physical SAR-7 form using the Upload Document feature on the BenefitsCal homepage.

  • You can also reach out to a Community Based Organization to assist with renewing your benefits.
