LOWER LAKE, Calif. – The Lake County Department of Social Services is able to assist households that experienced food loss due to power outages with CalFresh Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, replacement benefits and applications.

CalFresh replacement benefits are available to households already in receipt of CalFresh who lost food due to power outages.

Expedited CalFresh applications are available to qualified low-income households that do not already have benefits.

At this time, Disaster CalFresh benefits are not available as a presidential disaster declaration for individual assistance is required to operate, which is not anticipated.

To request replacement CalFresh or to apply, contact Lake County Social Services at www.c4yourself.com or 707-995-4200, or visit the offices at 15975 Anderson Ranch Parkway, Lower Lake.

Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday for limited emergency services.
