CalFresh Outreach and Enrollment
Access to nutrition benefits plays a critical role in preventing hunger and supporting household stability. In a recent Food Access Speaker Series conversation, participants explored strategies to increase CalFresh enrollment, reduce barriers to access, and connect eligible Californians with the food assistance benefits they need to thrive.
Exploring the Underlying Causes of Hunger
In this inaugural virtual event, we discussed the challenges for people experiencing food insecurity and how hunger and poverty has been perpetuated. We examined the barriers to accessing food and enabling food security and the work being done to address these issues. This is a one-hour moderated panel discussion followed by a 15-minute Q&A.
Hunger in California—What We Know, What We Need to Know, and What’s Next
The California Food Banks™ team presented recent data on food bank demand, discuss economic factors related to food security, explore what the data tells us (and doesn’t tell us) about the need in our communities, and learn how recent policy decisions at the state and federal levels will impact the need for food assistance in California.
Putting Learning to Practice: Meeting Cultural Relevant Foods
Join the California Food Banks™ team to discuss how innovations in local food sourcing have expanded access and variety for the communities we serve. We will present data on how fostering connections between farmers, producers, and distributors builds a stronger and more resilient food supply chain and share success stories of improving access to nutritious food for underserved communities while bolstering local economies. Moderated Wilken B. Louie, Senior Procurement Manager with the California Association of Food Banks.
