D-CalFresh and Additional Assistance in Lake County

In addition to Shasta County, Lake County has been approved for Disaster CalFresh food assistance as of August 20, 2018.

Applications for D-CalFresh will be accepted August 22-25 and August 27-29. The state will not be deploying outreach workers, so The California Association of Food Banks encourages everyone with a connection to Lake County to help spread the word as quickly as possible, given the limited application window.

Remember that even those individuals and families who are not eligible for regular CalFresh may qualify for Disaster CalFresh if they:

• Lived or worked in Lake County on July 23; and
  • Incurred disaster-related expenses; or
  • Experienced a disruption in income; or
  • Had damage to their home or self-employment property; or

Experienced food loss as a result of the fire or related power outages; and

• Are not already receiving CalFresh food assistance
