With the passing and signing of H.R.1, more commonly known as the “Big Beautiful Bill,” all SNAP-Ed funding, known locally as the CalFresh Healthy Living Program, has been 100% cut. For LA County that means 18 community-based organizations will lose funding to provide nutrition education classes, host free produce distributions, and improve access to healthy foods at early childhood education centers, schools, Federally Qualified Health Centers, food pantries, and parks.

NHF is one of these community-based organizations. For more than 10 years now, NHF has been a SNAP-Ed funded partner, where we’ve been able to provide over 1,500 nutrition education and physical activity classes, host 50+ food distributions, and work with youth to implement innovative solutions to food insecurity like testing and implementing school share tables and corner market healthy “makeovers.” We’ve been able to reach and help over 10,000 food insecure households because of this program. It has been rewarding, impactful work, and it should not end!

That is why we are asking everyone to contact your U.S. Senators and Representatives and urge them to save SNAP-Ed through the FY 2026 federal appropriations process. We still have a chance to save this program and continue to improve the health of communities through improving access to healthy foods!

The Senate plans to vote on a bill in the coming weeks that will, as currently written, eliminate SNAP-Ed, a critical, cost-effective p...

Our Story

We are a team of ‘upstreamists’ who believe that health can be improved by addressing the root causes of health disparities.

Two innovative thinkers at the Hospital Association of Southern California were responsible for dreaming up National Health Foundation, 44 years ago, as a way to extend the impact the association could have on improving healthcare. Since then, NHF has been working closely with stakeholders on a variety of health issues. However, just as the field of public health has evolved over the years, so has National Health Foundation. Today our approach is more at the community level, while retaining that connection to hospitals.

Working so closely with community members has given National Health Foundation insight into health experiences and disparities, and their very root causes. This insight has lead National Health Foundation to where it is today, with a new mission and vision that focus on remedying health inequities by taking action on the social determinants of health.

Never before has National Health Foundation been more entrenched in the communities it seeks to serve. And one would argue because of that, never before has National Health Foundation had such clear, direct impact on the health of Southern Californians.
