LA County Mobilizes Food Assistance as Federal Government Shutdown Continues
CalFresh food benefits at risk for more than 1.5 million children and adults
More than 1.5 million children and adults are within days of being cut off from their CalFresh food benefits due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, so LA County and its partners are mobilizing to meet residents’ needs by surging food assistance resources throughout the County.
LA County has approximately 4.9 million households, based on U.S. Census estimates.
This is going to blow your mind
There are approximately 3,280,000 households in Los Angeles County
“Nearly a million households in Los Angeles County” are on EBT
USDA and county data show 31% of LA County is on Food Stamps

Only 30% of the 42M on EBT are Americans who were born here
51% are Muslim who won't allow their wives to work, and have multiple wives with multiple children, getting $4K to $5K each!
This is unsustainable, It's time for DOGE to do an audit of EBT. This needs to end. pic.twitter.com/0uCOXHtmEv— Johnny Midnight ⚡️ (@its_The_Dr) November 2, 2025
