Many Shasta, Tehama, Trinity and Lassen County families are eligible for CalFresh benefits and don’t know it. Is your family one of them? You and your family may be eligible to receive CalFresh benefits even if you work full time. CalFresh assists low or no-income families in purchasing healthy foods.
The amount of Calfresh dollars your household receives is determined by your income, expenses, and family size.
For more information on qualifications or for application assistance, please call Shasta County (530) 225-0182/ Tehama County (530) 529-3131.
Benefits come on an Electronic Benefit (EBT) Card that is used like a debit card. CalFresh can be used at grocery stores and farmer’s markets that accept EBT cards. In addition to purchasing healthy foods with your EBT card, you can also buy seeds and plants used to grow food.
To apply, you’ll need to complete an application and bring these items to your interview:
- Identification: Bring a driver’s license, I.D Card, or a Health Card.
- Proof of Income: Bring pay stubs, child support orders, and benefit statements.
- Proof of Expenses: Bring your rent receipts, mortgage statements, utility bills,
