Application process
You can apply to participate in the SFMNP through your local senior center or other applicable nutrition program. The application process involves affirming that you meet the age, income, and state residency requirements. A more in-depth explanation of what is required for program eligibility can be found in the application. You can pick up your card the same day you fill out the application.
If an eligible individual cannot sign up themselves, they may select another individual as a proxy to sign up and receive the benefit card on their behalf. Homebound seniors who may not be able to use a SFMNP benefit card can choose to get a produce box delivered to their home instead of receiving a card.
