Neighborhood Healthcare is proud to announce it has received a grant from the Albertsons Companies Foundation’s Nourishing Neighbors program. This funding will play a crucial role in raising awareness about CalFresh, California’s food assistance program, and supporting Neighborhood Healthcare’s efforts to combat hunger in local communities.
With this grant, Neighborhood Healthcare’s Certified Enrollment Counselors (CECs) will help enroll individuals and families in CalFresh, ensuring they receive the nutrition assistance they need. People can request an appointment for enrollment assistance through our website at nhcare.org/food, where our CECs are ready to provide support.
The initiative focuses on reducing food insecurity, especially among children, by connecting underserved families in San Diego and Riverside Counties to CalFresh. Through targeted outreach, Neighborhood Healthcare aims to introduce CalFresh to eligible individuals and enroll at least 1,500 families, helping them access essential food resources.
In collaboration with Albertsons and Vons, this initiative seeks to amplify awareness of CalFresh and its benefits, making a tangible difference in the lives of local families. Together, these community partners are committed to fighting hunger and ensuring families thrive with access to proper nutrition.
The Albertsons Companies Foundation’s Nourishing Neighbors program is dedicated to eradicating hunger and improving the well-being of local communities. This partnership with Neighborhood Healthcare strengthens both organizations’ shared mission of addressing food insecurity and promoting overall community health.
Neighborhood Healthcare will actively engage the community through various outreach efforts, including events, social media, and direct marketing, to ensure that eligible families are informed and enrolled in CalFresh. The impact of this initiative is far-reaching, as it not only reduces hunger but also improves the health and well-being of countless families.
If you or someone you know could benefit from CalFresh enrollment, don’t hesitate to get help. Visit nhcare.org/food today to schedule an appointment with one of our Certified Enrollment Counselors and take the first step toward securing nutritious meals for your family.
