Testimony/Our Impact

We recently had the privilege of assisting an individual who was facing one of the most challenging times of his life. He had recently been evicted and was unemployed due to a severe injury suffered while working. Our team helped him apply for MediCal and CalFresh, but when we followed up with him, we discovered that he needed further assistance. We provided him with the necessary support, and he was eventually approved for benefits. Additionally, we referred him to the Frontline Workers in Agriculture relief program, which provided him with a stipend for working during the pandemic. He has been very grateful for our help, and we are happy to have been able to make a positive impact on his life. Stories like these are the reason why we are dedicated to continuing to offer our services and programs.

Donuts For A Great Cause!

Mental Health Awareness Month!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about mental health and promoting the importance of mental well-being. It's a time to reflect on our own mental health and seek support if needed. If a lack of proper healthcare access is impacting your mental health, you don't have to go through it alone. BFRC is here to support you with free assistance. Join us in recognizing this month and spreading the word about the importance of prioritizing mental health. Together, we can help remove the stigma surrounding mental health and make resources more accessible for everyone.

Tips For Improving Mental Well-Being:

Practice self-care: Set aside time every day to do things that make you feel good. This could include taking a relaxing bath, going for a walk, or reading a book. Self-care is essential for maintaining good mental health.
Stay active: Exercise has been shown to have numerous mental health benefits, including reducing anxiety and depression.
Connect with others, practice mindfulness, meditate, and seek professional help.

Cal-Fresh Awareness!

May is CalFresh Awareness Month, a time to highlight the importance of access to healthy food for all Californians. CalFresh, California's version of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), provides assistance to low-income individuals and families to purchase healthy food. If you or someone you know is struggling with food insecurity, consider applying for CalFresh benefits. Call us today for assistance with your application!
