We understand the next questions are sensitive and are not required. We believe that change can only occur by addressing the historical and institutional barriers that have blocked communities, specifically BIPOC communities, from accessing vital food assistance resources. We value and prioritize equity, creating space for people to share their personal experiences related to nutrition insecurity.

11. Have you experienced, been at risk of experiencing, or are currently experiencing nutrition insecurity (do not have enough money to buy three nutritious meals a day)?

YesNo

We highly encourage you to apply for CalFresh: www.sdhunger.org/getcalfresh

If you answered yes: are you willing to share your story with an elected official, or policy maker?
