Story 3:
Mary Jimenez, CalFresh Recipient | Yolo County
“For us, we were thankful that in our journey, our worker was really able to understand and hear our story. They knew exactly what was happening. We called, they gave us an appointment that same day. Now we have our EBT card, and it’s been extremely helpful.
The support is mind blowing. And it’s needed, because we have a three year old and a newborn. It’s just been so, so tremendously helpful for us.
I’m thankful that in Yolo County, what I’ve felt and what I’ve experienced is ‘we want to support you. We want to extend you the help.’ And that’s what I’ve experienced here and I’ve heard from families. They’re supporting us. They want our kids to thrive. And I’m so happy that I’m a part of that.”
