Local Assistance Food Medical

The ongoing federal government shutdown may be creating uncertainty and hardship for many federal employees. SNAP, EBT, and CalFresh benefits for November and future months could be delayed, potentially affecting families in our community. We want to ensure that you have access to accurate information and know where to find available support and resources.

The Sweetwater Union High School District is actively exploring additional ways to assist families during this time. This page is dedicated to sharing up-to-date information on food resources, medical and mental health supports, and other services as the government shutdown continues to impact our communities.
