Find Emergency Food


Do you need emergency food?

A common misconception is that emergency food is about natural disasters. Not so. Many Orange County individuals and families struggle to make ends meet each month. This program services those who have an income at or below the federal poverty level due to job loss, low wages, or homelessness. Food emergencies can be temporary or long-standing.

If you meet the income qualifications below for you household you qualify for this once per month food assistance from the USDA. Please visit the site nearest you by browsing list below.

If your city is not listed, please contact Community Action Partnership at 714.897.6670.

4 person household = $2,756 and under
5 person household = $3,224 and under
6 person household = $3,691 and under
