× The federal government has shut down due to the failures of the President and Congress to continue government funding. Millions of Californians receiving benefits from state programs may be impacted. For now, California’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) will continue to provide services and enroll eligible families as long as funding is available. No new federal funding to California WIC will be provided until the President and Congress take action. Families should continue to use their WIC benefits and attend their WIC appointments. This information is subject to change, so please monitor the California WIC website for updates.

Please be wary of potential highly partisan political messaging while visiting federal government websites for information related to the federal government shutdown.

California SNAP-Ed State Plan

This webpage houses the most current operating California Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) State Plan. The California SNAP-Ed State Plan is developed in collaboration with the California Department of Social Services and partnering state and local implementing agencies and is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). Past state plans are available by request through email CASNAPEdPlan@cdph.ca.gov.

The mission of California SNAP-Ed is to inspire and empower underserved Californians by promoting awareness, education, and community change through diverse partnerships to result in healthy eating and active living. The need for such programs and services in California is great. There are approximately 12.6 million people eligible for SNAP-Ed (34% of California’s population).
