How to Apply for Food Stamps in California (How to Apply for CalFresh)

In the state of California, Food Stamps benefits are known as CalFresh.  If you need to apply for CalFresh you should know that each county has its own method for application. 

Some counties will allow you to apply for CalFresh over the Internet, and other counties still require you to print out an application and take it to your local county office.  Many California counties will allow you to apply for food stamps (CalFresh) via the C4Yourself Internet portal.

In each situation, the application process starts at BenefitsCal.org.  Once you enter the system and choose your county, you will be shown the correct process for how to apply for CalFresh in your area. 

I have put together a video to show you the correct steps.  If you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to leave me a comment.

Good Luck to You!

How to Apply for Food Stamps in Arkansas

In this short video, I will walk you through the process for how to apply for food stamps in Arkansas (Arkansas SNAP Benefits).

If you need to apply for the program, you will need to make a trip to the Arkansas Department of Human Services.

Unfortunately, in the state of Arkansas you cannot (at this current time) yet apply for food stamps online, so you will have to print out an application form and take it to your local county DHS office.

If you watch the video, you will see that I have tried to make the process as painless as possible.

Good Luck to you and your family, and if you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to leave me a comment.

Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry

Food Pantry Hours
Hours: Monday through Thursday 9:00 until Noon
Seniors only: 3rd Friday, 9:00 until Noon

The Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry has a motto that states "No child in the Santa Clarita Valley Should Go to Bed Hungry."

That is a good motto to have and I wish that no child period should go to bed hungry anywhere.  But, we all know that isn't the reality, but at least the Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry program is doing what it can to help people in their area find access to food assistance.



In order to get help at the food pantry you must follow certain guidelines, they are as follows:

1. You Need to Reside in Santa Clarita Valley
2. You Cannot Earn More than 150% of the Poverty Level As published by the Emergency Food Assistance Program (Take your paycheck stubs in to show them what you make & let them tell you whether or not you qualify for food assistance.)
3. You Need to Have Children under 18 In Your Household
4. You Need to be Actively Seeking Employment, unless you are Disabled (I believe you can document this by bringing in job search info or disability documentation)
