Good news! After months of educating state leaders about the importance of the CalFresh Fruit & Vegetable EBT Program, we’re happy to announce that the 2024-25 state budget includes $10 million in new funding to continue operating the program!

The hugely successful CalFresh Fruit & Vegetable EBT Program was paused sooner than anticipated in April, when it ran out of funds. State leaders heard your voice and the final budget plan includes crucial new funding to restart the program.

Join us in thanking our state leaders for keeping this program alive. Additionally, please continue to share why the CalFresh Fruit & Vegetable EBT program is important to you! We will continue our advocacy to let state leaders know about the need to make the benefits a permanent supplement to CalFresh.
