Now Accepting Freshy Award Nominations!

CFPA is now accepting nominations for the 2017 Freshy Awards!  Each year, CFPA recognizes "Freshy Award" winners in acknowledgment of individual Californians, as well as organizations, from across the state that have worked diligently in the last year to improve CalFresh. The winners are announced and recognized at the annual CalFresh Forum.

 
The Freshy Award categories were established to encourage nominations across a number of CalFresh oriented professions, including advocates, administrators, elected officials, and more. We are collecting information about each nominee in order to develop a voting ballot that will be distributed in early December.

Freshy Awards Categories
  • Administrator of the Year
  • Grassroots Mobilizer of the Year
  • Innovative Outreach Leader of the Year
  • Elected Official or Capitol Staffer of the Year
