About Us

CalFresh Healthy Living facilitates behaviorally focused, evidence-based, nutrition and physical activity education interventions. We reach out to Californians through classroom lessons, social media campaigns, school gardens, taste-testing activities, walk-to-school events, and school wellness policies.

The California Department of Social Services (CDSS), California’s SNAP-Ed oversight agency, operates robust integrated programs and innovative partnerships to maximize resources for Californians across their lifespan.

CDSS leads four State Implementing Agencies that work together to make information and options for healthy eating and physical activity available to low-income Californians through a network of local health departments, educators, volunteers, nonprofit organizations, area agencies on aging, and other local partners.
