Seniors who receive SFMNP are also eligible to receive ExtraFood‘s nutrition bonus bucks vouchers. For more information about that program, please reach out to ExtraFood at contact@extrafood.org or (415) 997-9830.
SFMNP is federally funded and state administered in partnership with county agencies. With no administrative funds and reduced county personnel, there are challenges to the rollout. Petaluma Bounty is advising and assisting the county, as is ExtraFood. Additionally, ExtraFood received state funding to distribute $50 in vouchers to anyone who receives the 2026 SFMNP.
Proxy Form
If an eligible senior is unable to visit a distribution site to pick up SFMNP and nutrition bonus bucks, the senior can authorize someone else (a proxy) to pick them up. The senior must sign the proxy form ahead of time. Click here for the proxy form.
