D-SNAP (Disaster SNAP)
Disaster CalFresh is a program that provides immediate food assistance for victims of natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, or fires.
You could get up to a month’s benefits, or $298 per person in your household.
You can get Disaster CalFresh even if you don’t have immigration documentation, because it isn’t considered a public benefit.
