About Food and Nutrition Services
CalFresh (formerly known as Food Stamps) is known federally as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP, which provides monthly food benefits to individuals and families with low-income and provides economic benefits to communities.
CalFresh benefits can help buy nutritious foods for a better diet. CalFresh benefits stretch food budgets, allowing individuals and families to afford nutritious food, including more fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods.
Eligibility Requirements
Households must meet certain income and resource standards in order to receive CalFresh. Applicants must also be U.S. citizens or belong to certain non-citizen groups that are eligible for the program. CalFresh benefit amounts are based upon your household size and income.
About Nutrition Information Outreach
Obesity has become an epidemic in the United States. In order to combat and promote good health, the Merced County Human Services Agency (HSA) is actively spreading the message of healthy food choices and exercise. Nutrition information is available through HSA at many health fairs and other community events. Look for us out in the community with informational materials and cool handouts for kids. For more information about upcoming events, contact the Human Services Agency office at (209) 385-3000.
