Brown Bag Program
Every Wednesday, ECC holds a food distribution program for people who need extra support purchasing
groceries. Participants receive fruits, vegetables, grains, etc. at no cost.
Food Box Distribution
Once a month, on every 2nd Saturday, ECC distributes food boxes as part of the Community
Supplemental Food Program. This program is free and provides boxes full of non-perishable items such
as dry and canned goods to seniors 60 and up that need to supplement their nutritional needs.
CalFresh
BHNC serves as a site to apply for CalFresh, the program previously known as Food Stamps. There are
income requirements but they are constantly changing so it is important to check in often about your
eligibility. To learn more about requirements and your eligibility, stop by ECC and a senior
services program staff will assist you or call (415) 206-2140 and ask for an ECC social services
coordinator.
