Here's What to Say (So You Qualify)

How you describe your food situation matters. Never lie. But frame it right.

❌ DON'T say: "Groceries are expensive." ✅ DO say: "I'm food insecure and skipping meals. My health conditions are worsening due to lack of nutrition. I need food support to prevent hospitalization."

❌ DON'T say: "I sometimes run out of food before payday." ✅ DO say: "I experience chronic food insecurity that affects my ability to manage my health conditions. I need medically supportive food assistance."

❌ DON'T say: "I'd like help with groceries." ✅ DO say: "I'm choosing between food and medications/rent. My nutritional needs are not being met. I need comprehensive food support."

The difference? One meets criteria. One doesn't. Both are true. Frame it right.

Is This Really Free?

Yes. Completely free.

If you have Medi-Cal and you're food insecure, food support is covered. Your health plan or community programs pay for it.

No co-pay. No bills. No fees.

Even if you own a car or have some savings, you still qualify. Medi-Cal doesn't count that anymore.

The only "catch" is you have to show you're food insecure. Which means you can't afford enough food.

This Could Change Your Health

Imagine this: You wake up tomorrow. You have food vouchers. You go to the store and buy real food—vegetables, protein, healthy stuff. You cook a real meal. Your kids eat. You eat.

Months pass. You're not hungry anymore. Your energy is back. Your health improves. Because you finally had enough food.

That's what this does. Free. Right here in Modesto, Stockton, and Merced.

You'd be crazy to keep going hungry when free food support exists.
