CalFresh — Metro Family Resource Center

CalFresh helps eligible households pay for groceries through benefits on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card accepted at participating food retailers. This listing identifies the Metro Family Resource Center in downtown San Diego as a local application and contact office, rather than a food pantry or grocery pickup site.

Applying for food benefits

Apply online through the program’s application website or call 866-262-9881 for help with next steps at this office. Eligibility depends on household circumstances and current program rules. Ask the county to review your situation and confirm the documents needed; receiving information or applying does not guarantee approval.

Findhelp lists identification, proof of income and additional documents depending on the applicant’s circumstances. Language assistance is listed. Call before visiting if you need an interpreter or have questions about your application.

The contact office is at 1130 Tenth Avenue, San Diego, California 92101. Office hours are Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Pacific; Saturday and Sunday are closed.
