Information for CalFresh Recipients Information for Restaurant Owners

The County of Orange is participating in the Restaurant Meals Program (RMP). RMP allows elderly, disabled and homeless CalFresh recipients and their spouse to use their Golden State Advantage (EBT) card to purchase prepared meals from participating restaurants.

Note: The RMP does not apply to CalFresh recipients that do not meet the criteria listed above.
The RMP offers options for eligible CalFresh recipients (must meet criteria) who may not:

• Be able to prepare meals

• Have a place to store and cook meals

• Have access to a grocery store

In addition to Orange County, eligible CalFresh recipients may also use their EBT card to purchase a prepared meal throughout California.
