Urge Governor Brown to Help Californians Access CalFresh and Healthcare
As a member of the Alliance to Transform CalFresh, CFPA is asking Governor Brown to help all eligible Californians get both health coverage and CalFresh benefits with one-stop service.

Connecting families with both Medi-Cal and CalFresh will lead to better health, nutrition, and economic security for all Californians. This connection will help modernize government customer service and drive more federal funds to California.

Help us build broad support for connecting families to both health and nutrition by signing on to our letter to Governor Brown. The Alliance welcomes both state and local groups, working on health, hunger, and any issues that help California families thrive.
