CalFresh Healthy Living FFY 2025 Annual Impact Report

CalFresh Healthy Living, known nationally as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed), has supported eligible Californians in achieving healthy behaviors through nutrition and physical activity education, community changes, and social marketing for over 30 years. The California Department of Social Services provides administrative oversight of CalFresh Health Living and its four State Implementing Agencies: CalFresh Healthy Living, University of California; California Department of Aging; California Department of Public Health; and Catholic Charities of California, Inc. These State Implementing Agencies work through a network of Local Implementing Agencies and community partnerships to reach CalFresh Healthy Living-eligible populations and have shown improved healthy behaviors and have implemented policy, systems, and environmental changes to support healthy lifestyles year over year. 

In FFY 2025, the program reached over 2.2 million people through Direct Education and Policy, Systems, and Environmental (PSE) changes, demonstrating significant improvements in healthy eating and physical activity among participants.  This report documents the progress made toward the program's goals and objectives and showcases the enduring impact CalFresh Healthy Living has had on communities across the state.
