Apply for CalFresh (Food Stamps) and other benefits at BenefitsCal.com or call Fort Bragg Social Services at 707-962-1000 or stop by at 764 S. Franklin Street, Fort Bragg, Monday through Thursday 7 am to 5 pm. Applications are also located outside the building if you stop by during non-business hours.
CalFresh benefits are loaded onto an EBT card. Cardholders can check their balance and interact with their card through a free mobile app called ebtEDGE. This is the only app approved to be used with your EBT card. Beware of other apps. You can download ebtEDGE at the App Store or Google Play. Through this app, you can report your card lost/stolen or can call the EBT Helpline at 877-328-9677.
For a list of farmers markets, check out the Mendocino Farmers Market Association website. If you use your EBT card at the farmers market, you can get free fruits and vegetables through the Market Match program.
