San Luis Obispo, CA – February 7, 2023 – In response to our recent severe winter
storms, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service has approved the
California Department of Social Services’ request to operate Disaster CalFresh
assistance in nine impacted counties, including San Luis Obispo County.
Disaster CalFresh provides temporary food assistance to eligible families and
individuals affected by natural disasters. Families or individuals who lived or worked in
SLO County between December 27, 2022 and January 25, 2023, and who were
impacted by the storms, may be eligible for these benefits and are encouraged to apply.
The application period for these temporary benefits is open for a limited time only from
February 6 thru February 10, 2023, and again from February 14 thru February 15, 2023.
