Beginning June 1, expanded federal work requirements for CalFresh may cause many Californians to lose access to critical food assistance, including older adults, caregivers, students, veterans, and individuals experiencing homelessness.

At Sunnyvale Community Services, we know that access to nutritious food is essential for stability. As food costs rise and demand for assistance continues to grow, we remain committed to helping our neighbors meet their basic needs and build a stronger future with dignity.
