The 2021-22 state budget includes funding to begin implementation of Food4All. The funding will move the state toward expanding the California Food Assistance Program (CFAP) proposed in SB 464 (Hurtado). We applaud the Governor and Legislature for prioritizing a permanent solution to the immigrant exclusion in CalFresh.

The Legislature and Governor deserve significant thanks for taking this first major step toward an equitable nutrition safety-net. They also need to hear from you that long-term investments are needed.

Please take a few minutes to thank the budget leaders who took this first big step, and ask them to continue prioritizing Food4All funding next year.
