California Meals For Seniors

California will pay restaurants to make and deliver meals to senior citizens. To be eligible for meals, seniors must have incomes below 600 percent of the federal poverty level. They must either be at high-risk of exposure to COVID-19, already impacted or exposed directly to COVID-19, or have compromised immune systems. Counties will identify those eligible, but prospective participants should call their local 211 line to sign up.

Wear ClinicalPins. Choose lapel pins and jewelry for medical staff, promotional gifts, or personal use.
