Produced and developed by the Live Well San Diego East Region
Leadership Team Healthy Eating Workgroup
Funded by Grossmont Healthcare District and County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency
January 2014
Version: 8-15-13
Purpose
The County of San Diego launched Live Well San Diego in July 2010, a strategic vision to help residents
attain healthy, safe and thriving lives. Live Well San Diego is comprised of three components: Building
Better Health, Living Safely, and Thriving. Soon after the initiative was launched, the Health and
Human Services Agency began working with community partners to develop a plan that would guide
action toward achieving the goals within this framework. The Live Well San Diego East Region
Leadership Team is one of five across the county that has been tasked with implementing the Live Well
San Diego initiative. To learn more, visit: www.livewellsd.org
This Food Resource Guide was developed to accomplish the Live Well San Diego East Region
Leadership Team’s Healthy Eating Workgroup goal of promoting healthy eating in East County
through education and outreach.
The information in this publication is current as of January 2014; however please note that various aspects
of food assistance programs change frequently. Case managers and individuals should contact an agency
directly and in advance for program information, including service days/times and capacity. Please
contact an agency prior to making any referrals. If you are an agency that provides food resources, please
contact us to be added.

EAST COUNTY FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
Food assistance programs reduce hunger and increase food security by
providing needy families and individuals with access to food. Individual
food programs vary in eligibility criteria, residency requirements, types of
food, and distribution methods/schedules.
CalFresh Program
CalFresh is a program that reduces hunger and increases access to
food for eligible families. Known federally as the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), this program allows families
to shop for their own food with use of an electronic debit card
referred to as Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT).
CalFresh EBT cards can be used to purchase most foods at many
markets and food stores. To view street level grid maps showing
the locations of retailers who accept electronic benefit transfer
(EBT) cards within San Diego County, visit
http://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/retailerlocator.
Eligibility is based on household size, income, and certain
living expenses. For more information, visit:

4. Home-Delivered Meals
Home-delivered meal programs are vital in maintaining access to food for
homebound residents. They provide nutrition while offering compassion.
Below is a list of home-delivered meal programs. Most of them are run by
Meals on Wheels, but several of the back-country communities are served
through other non-profits. Meal types, fees and delivery schedules may
vary.
