Free Food Resources For LA County Residents
|
|
An estimated 2 million people in Los Angeles County suffer from food-insecurity issues on an ongoing basis. That vulnerable community is sure to swell because of pandemic-related economic losses in the months to come, but Los Angeles County is committed to preventing hunger and ensuring access to food for residents. The County is currently mobilizing a Countywide response to hunger by coordinating public agencies, nonprofits, and volunteers to provide meals to anyone in need during the weeks and months to come. The County is also launching new digital resources to help members of the public access food at no cost — including program
sign-up information, maps, and frequently asked questions
— all located on the
County COVID-19 website.
Individuals/Families in Need Can:
- Get help with food expenses. CalFresh is a Nutrition Assistance Program that can help people in low-income households purchase food by increasing their food-buying power. Apply here and see eligibility requirements here.
- Find free food near you. County agencies and partners that provide free groceries and meals are expanding their services during COVID-19. Click here to see options and find food distribution sites near you. Some programs also provide delivery.
- Get food delivery assistance. The County has launched a Critical Delivery Services program to deliver food and other vital items to adults age 60+ and individuals with disabilities who are unable to leave their homes due to COVID-19. Items must be prepaid and ready for pick-up. There is no cost to the client for delivery. For more information, click here or call (888) 863-7411.
- For assistance, or if you do not have access to the Internet, please dial 2-1-1. Multilingual operators are available to help members of the public find free food resources.

SoCal Gas
Next Steps Toward Offering Renewable Natural Gas
|
|
SoCalGas has announced forward progress on plans to offer more renewable natural gas (RNG) to customers. They've worked diligently with a number of organizations who have a stake in their program and agreed on details that were important for all. That agreement was filed earlier this week with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC.)
This represents a new milestone in work toward a program that would allow millions of Californians the option to purchase a portion of their natural gas from renewable sources, just as many today can opt to purchase renewable electricity. The program is expected to create increased demand for RNG, which can help increase supply and lower its cost over time, similar to what has happened with renewable electricity created from wind and solar power. A decision from the CPUC is expected as early as this fall.
