CalFresh Grocery Gift Cards - Help Families Access Funds

From the San Francisco Health Services Agency (SFHSA):

In November, San Francisco CalFresh recipients received a letter from us with information about a one-time emergency prepaid grocery card from GiveCard to help buy food during the government shutdown. Even though November CalFresh benefits have been restored, the City’s Emergency Grocery Card Program continues to be available for San Francisco CalFresh recipients in advance of the holiday season.

• If you ordered a physical card, you need to unlock it in order to use it when you get it in the mail.
• You can unlock your card online at https://app.givecard.com/ or by calling SFHSA for help.
• Your GiveCard does not require a PIN to use. If you are asked for a PIN when using your GiveCard, just press “ENTER” to skip this step.
• Grocery cards must be activated by December 31, 2025. Funds must be spent by March 31, 2026.
• If you have not received a letter or if you need help activating your virtual or physical grocery card, we are here for you.
