Background 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 PURPOSE: 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.

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.
