Community Update on Food Voucher Assistance

We understand and share the frustration that many in our community are feeling right now. The recent changes to food benefits have created hardship for many families, and the demand for assistance has been overwhelming. Our Family Resource Centers are doing everything they can to respond quickly and compassionately.

Unfortunately, our supply of food vouchers is limited. We know that long lines, limited availability, and eligibility requirements can be disappointing and stressful. We truly empathize with everyone affected.

As we continue to manage this increased demand, we will work on providing updates on social media to communicate our available resources. These updates will include information about voucher availability, eligibility, and distribution times to help keep our community informed. Our goal is to make the process as transparent and fair as possible.

We kindly ask for your understanding and patience as we adapt and put procedures in place to meet the growing needs of our community. Our staff and partners are working tirelessly to support as many people as we can with care, respect, and integrity.

Thank you for standing with us as we navigate this challenging time together.

We are out of gift cards for today. We will have more this upcoming Friday, Nov. 7th at 8:00 AM. Supplies are limited, we cannot guarantee that everyone who waits in line will receive a card. Please bring your photo ID and Verification of Benefits. Having those items ready greatly helps us serve you faster. If you do not have your verification of benefits, please see our post below for instructions to download it in BenefitsCal. If you do not have a BenefitsCal account, please have your county case number ready. If you do not know your number, call CSA customer service at 1-877-652-0734.

Due to the federal government shutdown, over 90,000 Stanislaus County residents have lost access to CalFresh (SNAP) benefits as of November 1. These are our neighbors: families, seniors, veterans, and college students. Local food pantries are already seeing a surge in need, and they need your help.

📦 Donate canned goods, shelf-stable items, and holiday foods -> localfoodbank.org/food-pantry-referrals
💵 Make a financial contribution to help buy food in bulk -> bit.ly/stanfoodfund
🤝 Coordinate a canned food drive at your business or place of worship

Let’s show up for our neighbors. Every can, every dollar, every share makes a difference. ❤️
