什么是CalFresh?
CalFresh (formerly known as food stamps) is a supplemental nutrition assistance program that helps households and families buy the food they need for good health. CalFresh dollars can help people incorporate healthy foods like fruits and vegetables into their diets. Additionally, CalFresh can be used to purchase plant starts or seeds that produce food.
CalFresh benefits can be used at participating grocery retailers, 农贸市场, authorized farm stands and some Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs. Benefits are provided on an EBT card (Electronic Benefit Transfer), 它的工作原理和银行借记卡一样.
