Food Distribution Resources

The City of South San Francisco is empathetic to its residents who are dependent on the federal government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (known as CalFresh in California) which may be ending due to the national government shutdown. Our hearts go out to the children, parents, and extended families who rely on this much-needed program to consistently provide nutritious meals for their families. If you or someone you know will no longer receive assistance, please refer them to the following resources which will hopefully provide some relief:
