CALFRESH BENEFITS OUTREACH AT ISLAND PACIFIC WEST COVINA


The Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) in its continuing efforts to promote and increase participation to the Calfresh programs have partnered with Island Pacific Supermarket to reach out to the Filipino American community. 

The CalFresh Program helps to improve the health and well-being of qualified households and individuals by providing them a means to meet their nutritional needs. In California, the monthly CalFresh benefit is transferred to the household's Golden State Advantage Card, known as Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, and is issued when the household 's CalFresh case is approved. 


Some of those people that came to apply at the DPSS Truck at Island Pacific Panorama last April 12 and April 18 already received their EBT Cards. Most of those who went and applied through the DPSS Truck have no idea that they could qualify for CalFresh Benefits. They were very thankful that they have learned about this program. Please mark the dates on your calendar and go to your nearest Island Pacific Supermarket locations to apply for CalFresh benefits. They will be  available to answer and accept applications from 9:00 am- 2:00 pm.
