How long have you been a TCCI client?

Victoria has been with TCCI for a year.

In what ways has TCCI changed your life?

Victoria says that CalFresh’s nutrition classes have been such a great resource not only for her child but for her whole family. She says her son comes home excited to share what he’s learned about healthy eating and it’s inspired them to prepare healthy meals together as a family. Victoria says the produce distributions have also made a big difference and that having access to fresh fruits and vegetables has helped them stretch their food budget and eat healthier without the extra stress. Victoria can’t say enough about the gardening classes! Her son loves getting his hands in the soil and learning where food really comes from. She says it’s been amazing to see the kids’ confidence grow along with the plants they’ve helped raised.
