Additional Resources
 
Groceries
Pandemic EBT (or P-EBT) is a federal program that gives eligible families food benefits in addition to free or reduced-price meals at school. Please note that if your student qualifies for Free or Reduced-Price School Meals, you are eligible to receive additional funding for groceries; please see this website for more information. You DO NOT need to apply for P-EBT. Cards are automatically sent to eligible families based on information from other programs, including CalFresh Food benefits and free or reduced-price school meals. You can apply for free or reduced-price school meals through your school. You can apply for CalFresh Food benefits at GetCalfresh.org
 
SamTrans Bus Passes
Additionally, if your student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, they can receive a free SamTrans bus pass for the school year. 
 
Please reach out if your student(s) would like a free bus pass or if you have any questions regarding P-EBT - Ilana Yakubovich, Wellness Director, [email protected] - 650-597-1035.
