For those who attended the Mini College, p
lease make sure to complete the brief
Mini College Evaluation Survey

Also, May is CalFresh Awareness Month. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or CalFresh as it is referred to in California, plays a vital role in providing nutrition assistance to low-income households throughout the state. The majority of you work with patient populations or clients that are enrolled in or qualify for CalFresh. Across the state people will be hosting events this month to increase CalFresh enrollment and to bring awareness to the important role that it plays in ensuring the health and well-being of communities. I encourage you all to reach out to your partners to identify ways to support CalFresh efforts this month.
