The Child Care Food Program’s annual center director’s workshop was held Nov. 10 at the KAFSC office. Sarah Lee, a licensing program analyst from the Department of Social Services, was a guest speaker. Discussion topics included a final report from the state audit, updated manuals and new program requirements. It was also a wonderful opportunity for participating child care center directors to mingle with one another and express similar thoughts, concerns and ideas regarding the child care food program. All in all, it was very successful workshop.
Food Stamp Benefits
KAFSC has entered a partnership with the County of Los Angeles, Department of Public Social Services to assist potentially eligible families and individuals with applying for food stamp benefits. The Food Stamp Program is designed to promote the general welfare and to safeguard the health and well-being of the nation’s population by raising the levels of nutrition among low-income households. To alleviate hunger and malnutrition, Congress authorized the Food Stamp Program to permit low-income households to obtain a more nutritious diet through normal channels of trade by increasing their food purchasing power for all eligible households who apply for participation. KAFSC’s role is to provide personal service and individual attention in assisting participants with completing applications and obtaining documentation needed for immediate eligibility determination.
You may qualify for food stamp benefits. If you would like to make a request for food stamp assistance, please contact KAFSC at (213) 389-6755.
Important information for immigrants: You can apply for and get food stamp benefits for eligible family members, even if your family includes other members who are not eligible because of immigration status. For example, immigrant parents may apply for food stamp benefits for their U.S. citizen or qualified immigrant children, even though the parents may not be eligible for benefits. Using food stamp benefits will not affect your immigration status or the immigration status of your family. Immigration information is private and confidential.
