This increase was at least $95 in CalFresh benefits per month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But starting in April, CalFresh users will notice a big drop in their food benefits. That’s because \u003ca href=\"https://cdss.ca.gov/calfreshcovid19\">those extra CalFresh pandemic funds were discontinued on Feb. 28\u003c/a>, making March the last month the emergency allotments will appear in your CalFresh benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep reading to find out why this is happening, or jump straight to \u003ca href=\"#foodsupport\">where you can find additional food support and benefits\u003c/a> if you’re going to be affected by this drop in CalFresh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Are you a student on CalFresh? \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11945814/college-students-your-calfresh-eligibility-is-about-to-change-heres-what-to-do\">Read more about how your eligibility for food benefits is also changing starting June 10.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#tellus\">Tell us: What else do you need information about right now?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>Why is this drop in my CalFresh benefits happening?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The sharp reduction in CalFresh funds is due to federal funding changes for SNAP programs across the whole United States — not because of a change in California law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March 2020, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) — the federal agency that oversees SNAP programs nationwide — gave states extra funding so they could increase food benefits for people using SNAP. The increase allowed California to up the amount CalFresh users received every month, either to the maximum amount allowed or by adding a $95 increase for the people already getting the maximum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, a 2023 Congressional spending bill — the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 — has ended the pandemic-era release of these extra funds to households across the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>So how much money in CalFresh benefits will I now lose?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Starting in April, your CalFresh benefits will go back down to their pre-pandemic levels, according to what you’re currently eligible for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These emergency allotments were $95 \u003cem>minimum\u003c/em>. So the end of these extra funds means that a person using CalFresh \u003cem>at the very least\u003c/em> is losing $95 each month in their food benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cdss.ca.gov/Portals/9/CalFreshOutreach/Brochures/Income_Inserts_FFY2023-English.pdf?ver=2022-09-27-105231-437\">Both your regular CalFresh benefits and how much emergency allotment you’ve been receiving are calculated based on your personal circumstances (PDF)\u003c/a>, which includes how many people are in your household, what your income is and what tax deductions you claim.

Becky Silva, government relations director at the California Association of Food Banks, told CalMatters that a single-person household could see their food aid drop from $281 a month to as low as $23 in April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco alone, officials at the city’s Human Services Agency (SFHSA) estimated in a March 1 press conference that around 70,000 households receiving CalFresh — more than 96,000 individuals — will lose an average of $160 per month, totaling a loss of $11.5 million citywide. The SFHSA estimates that older people, people with disabilities and families with multiple children will be most affected by these CalFresh changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Social Services (CDSS), the agency that administers CalFresh, says that it’s been using “many methods of communication” to alert CalFresh users about the imminent drop in funds, including texts, social media, automated phone calls and a January mailer sent to all people using CalFresh. This messaging, the agency says, has been translated into Spanish, Vietnamese, Armenian and Cantonese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its \u003ca href=\"https://cdss.ca.gov/Portals/13/CFF-COVID/emergency-allotment-flyer-english.pdf\">official flyer warning of the CalFresh funding changes (PDF)\u003c/a>, CDSS advises people being hit by this sudden drop in food benefits in April that they can “get free food from your local food bank” as an “additional food resource.” The agency notes that both the state and the USDA also have made more funding available to food banks recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, many advocates are deeply concerned about the impact on hunger in California. Particularly concerned are food bank representatives, whose organizations have already seen huge demand during the pandemic, and are themselves being squeezed by the food inflation that’s affecting the people that food banks serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2023/02/calfresh-emergency-allotments-ending/\">“There’s no way to overstate how devastating this is going to be,”\u003c/a> Silva from the California Association of Food Banks told CalMatters. “Families are going to see a dramatic and sudden drop in their food benefits at a time when food price inflation and the cost of living in California especially is through the roof.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Altfest, Alameda County Community Food Bank’s director of community engagement, says that the loss in Alameda County alone will amount to more than 3 million meals in the county per month. “Our food bank can’t make up 3.1 million meals,” Altfest said. “It’s physically impossible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to see a huge jump in demand,” he said. “And I think food banks across the country are going to struggle to make this up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Altfest says that many food banks across the state are joining forces with lawmakers and “working on a number of bills and proposals that we’ve been lobbying for.” These measures not only \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-03-02/millions-of-californians-see-catastrophic-end-of-covid-19-food-benefits-as-inflation-climbs\">advocate for increased state funding for food banks, but also for the state to augment federal SNAP benefits\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"foodsupport\">\u003c/a>Where can I find additional money and support if my CalFresh benefits are dropping?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>First, make sure you’re getting all the CalFresh benefits you’re entitled to\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your income has gone down, or stopped because you’ve lost your job or your expenses have risen, you may be eligible for more CalFresh benefits.

This increase was at least $95 in CalFresh benefits per month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But starting in April, CalFresh users will notice a big drop in their food benefits. That’s because \u003ca href=\"https://cdss.ca.gov/calfreshcovid19\">those extra CalFresh pandemic funds were discontinued on Feb. 28\u003c/a>, making March the last month the emergency allotments will appear in your CalFresh benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep reading to find out why this is happening, or jump straight to \u003ca href=\"#foodsupport\">where you can find additional food support and benefits\u003c/a> if you’re going to be affected by this drop in CalFresh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Are you a student on CalFresh? \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11945814/college-students-your-calfresh-eligibility-is-about-to-change-heres-what-to-do\">Read more about how your eligibility for food benefits is also changing starting June 10.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#tellus\">Tell us: What else do you need information about right now?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>Why is this drop in my CalFresh benefits happening?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The sharp reduction in CalFresh funds is due to federal funding changes for SNAP programs across the whole United States — not because of a change in California law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March 2020, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) — the federal agency that oversees SNAP programs nationwide — gave states extra funding so they could increase food benefits for people using SNAP. The increase allowed California to up the amount CalFresh users received every month, either to the maximum amount allowed or by adding a $95 increase for the people already getting the maximum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, a 2023 Congressional spending bill — the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 — has ended the pandemic-era release of these extra funds to households across the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>So how much money in CalFresh benefits will I now lose?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Starting in April, your CalFresh benefits will go back down to their pre-pandemic levels, according to what you’re currently eligible for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These emergency allotments were $95 \u003cem>minimum\u003c/em>. So the end of these extra funds means that a person using CalFresh \u003cem>at the very least\u003c/em> is losing $95 each month in their food benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cdss.ca.gov/Portals/9/CalFreshOutreach/Brochures/Income_Inserts_FFY2023-English.pdf?ver=2022-09-27-105231-437\">Both your regular CalFresh benefits and how much emergency allotment you’ve been receiving are calculated based on your personal circumstances (PDF)\u003c/a>, which includes how many people are in your household, what your income is and what tax deductions you claim.

Becky Silva, government relations director at the California Association of Food Banks, told CalMatters that a single-person household could see their food aid drop from $281 a month to as low as $23 in April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco alone, officials at the city’s Human Services Agency (SFHSA) estimated in a March 1 press conference that around 70,000 households receiving CalFresh — more than 96,000 individuals — will lose an average of $160 per month, totaling a loss of $11.5 million citywide. The SFHSA estimates that older people, people with disabilities and families with multiple children will be most affected by these CalFresh changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Social Services (CDSS), the agency that administers CalFresh, says that it’s been using “many methods of communication” to alert CalFresh users about the imminent drop in funds, including texts, social media, automated phone calls and a January mailer sent to all people using CalFresh. This messaging, the agency says, has been translated into Spanish, Vietnamese, Armenian and Cantonese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its \u003ca href=\"https://cdss.ca.gov/Portals/13/CFF-COVID/emergency-allotment-flyer-english.pdf\">official flyer warning of the CalFresh funding changes (PDF)\u003c/a>, CDSS advises people being hit by this sudden drop in food benefits in April that they can “get free food from your local food bank” as an “additional food resource.” The agency notes that both the state and the USDA also have made more funding available to food banks recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, many advocates are deeply concerned about the impact on hunger in California. Particularly concerned are food bank representatives, whose organizations have already seen huge demand during the pandemic, and are themselves being squeezed by the food inflation that’s affecting the people that food banks serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2023/02/calfresh-emergency-allotments-ending/\">“There’s no way to overstate how devastating this is going to be,”\u003c/a> Silva from the California Association of Food Banks told CalMatters. “Families are going to see a dramatic and sudden drop in their food benefits at a time when food price inflation and the cost of living in California especially is through the roof.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Altfest, Alameda County Community Food Bank’s director of community engagement, says that the loss in Alameda County alone will amount to more than 3 million meals in the county per month. “Our food bank can’t make up 3.1 million meals,” Altfest said. “It’s physically impossible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to see a huge jump in demand,” he said. “And I think food banks across the country are going to struggle to make this up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Altfest says that many food banks across the state are joining forces with lawmakers and “working on a number of bills and proposals that we’ve been lobbying for.” These measures not only \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-03-02/millions-of-californians-see-catastrophic-end-of-covid-19-food-benefits-as-inflation-climbs\">advocate for increased state funding for food banks, but also for the state to augment federal SNAP benefits\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"foodsupport\">\u003c/a>Where can I find additional money and support if my CalFresh benefits are dropping?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>First, make sure you’re getting all the CalFresh benefits you’re entitled to\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your income has gone down, or stopped because you’ve lost your job or your expenses have risen, you may be eligible for more CalFresh benefits.

Pero eso no significa que la ley siempre funcione como debería.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Algunos abogados y defensores de los inquilinos han informado de clientes que habían presentado una solicitud que todavía estaba en proceso de revisión, pero que recibieron una notificación de desalojo de todos modos. Por lo general, esto se debe a que el propietario no sabía que el inquilino había presentado la solicitud o afirma falsamente que su inquilino no ha presentado toda la documentación requerida para la solicitud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A finales de marzo, la oficina del fiscal general del estado envió cartas de advertencia a 91 bufetes de abogados que representan a propietarios de todo el estado recordándoles que presentar declaraciones falsas va en contra de la ley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11884668\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/traffic-sign.jpg\"]“Presentar declaraciones falsas en los tribunales viola múltiples leyes estatales”, escribió el fiscal general adjunto Hunter Landerholm, “al igual que mantener un caso de este tipo después de saber que la declaración utilizada para iniciarlo es falsa”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El propósito de esa carta era animar a esos bufetes a “revisar” los casos de desalojo archivados para “asegurarse de que cumplen la ley”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los desalojos siguen produciéndose, dijo Madeline Howard, abogada principal del Western Center on Law and Poverty, “porque las protecciones son imperfectas.

Así que, si solicitó una ayuda para la renta el 31 de marzo o antes y la solicitud sigue pendiente, pero está recibiendo una notificación de desalojo, póngase en contacto con un abogado. \u003ca href=\"https://www.lawhelpca.org/es/legal-information\">Encuentre una oficina de ayuda legal cerca de usted\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si su arrendador le pide una prueba de que ha solicitado el programa de ayuda al alquiler, Howard aconseja que descargue el documento de solicitud en la página web de Housing is Key y se lo envíe para “dejar bien claro que lo ha solicitado”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Una cosa clave para recordar: para la mayoría de los inquilinos en California, a partir del 1 de abril, los propietarios todavía podrán llevar a sus inquilinos a los tribunales e iniciar los procedimientos de desalojo por falta de alquiler. Eso es porque \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11909880/california-lawmakers-extend-eviction-protections-for-tenants-awaiting-rent-relief\">esta nueva legislación estatal\u003c/a> (enlace sólo en inglés) significa que un propietario no lo puede desalojar por no pagar el alquiler que debía antes del 31 de marzo, pero no le protege del desalojo por no pagar el alquiler después de esa fecha.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Mi ciudad me permite solicitar ayuda para la renta después del 31 de marzo. ¿Me podrían desalojar mientras espero los fondos?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Si usted solicita una ayuda para la renta, los fondos provendrán del estado o de su propio condado, dependiendo de dónde viva.

En el momento en que se va, usted pierde muchas protecciones valiosas e incluso puede acabar con una sentencia en tu contra”, dice López.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Si está tardando tanto el trámite de las solicitudes, ¿qué pasa si sigo esperando para el 30 de junio?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Si su solicitud sigue pendiente después de que expire esta prórroga, sí, podría ser desalojado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y es probable que muchos, decenas de miles de personas se encuentren en este grupo.

Thanks to state legislation from 2020, the program offers free COVID-19 testing, hospital care and treatment to anyone in California who doesn’t have insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any uninsured person can apply to the program, regardless of income or immigration status. Once you’re enrolled, you can receive COVID-19 testing and treatment from any Medi-Cal provider for free across California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The catch: To enroll, “you first have to find a medical provider in your community that has been designated by the state as a qualified provider,” explains David Kane, senior attorney with the Western Center on Law and Poverty — and you can’t submit the application yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/eligibility/Documents/COVID-19UninsuredGroupProgram/MC-374-ENG-09-2020.pdf\">COVID-19 Uninsured Group program application is available online\u003c/a>, and you can fill it out yourself — but it can only be submitted to Medi-Cal \u003cem>through\u003c/em> that qualified provider (QP). There are dozens of QPs across the Bay Area that can help you file your application so it reaches Medi-Cal. You can find an \u003ca href=\"https://cadhcs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=62f87cadcea54cf887289e7eceda14f5\">interactive map of all the QPs in the Bay Area, along with their contact information here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once you find a qualified provider, that provider has to know how to process an application,” Kane said. He added that because this program is not as widely known, unfortunately some qualified providers may be unfamiliar with how to file an application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kane acknowledges that the burden of explaining what the Uninsured Group program is should not be placed on the patient, but adds that there are several options available if someone calls a provider who is not aware that this resource exists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Patients should tell a provider they are uninsured, or underinsured, and need coverage to access this care and that they know specifically about the COVID-19 Uninsured Group program, and ask to be enrolled in that program,” he explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kane says that if the provider insists they still don’t know what you’re talking about or that you’re not eligible for the program, you should either:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Request to speak to someone who works at that provider who is informed about this resource.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Reach out to another qualified provider.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://healthconsumer.org/contact/\">Contact the Health Consumer Alliance\u003c/a>, an advocacy group that supports Californians seeking health coverage and offers free legal aid.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>“This program exists for people who need it,” Kane said. “Just about everybody [who’s uninsured] in California is eligible. So be persistent until you are enrolled.” Read a \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/eligibility/Documents/COVID-19UninsuredGroupProgram/COVID-19UninsuredGroupFAQ.pdf\">FAQ on the state’s COVID-19 Uninsured Group program\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

So we strongly advise that you check the provider’s website before heading to their testing site — because you might find that if you don’t have insurance, they might charge you for the test, or not provide it at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11898455/where-to-find-a-covid-test-near-you-in-the-bay-area#locations\">Find a noncounty testing site near you.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Thanks to state legislation from 2020, the program offers free COVID-19 testing, hospital care and treatment to anyone in California who doesn’t have insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any uninsured person can apply to the program, regardless of income or immigration status. Once you’re enrolled, you can receive COVID-19 testing and treatment from any Medi-Cal provider for free across California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The catch: To enroll, “you first have to find a medical provider in your community that has been designated by the state as a qualified provider,” explains David Kane, senior attorney with the Western Center on Law and Poverty — and you can’t submit the application yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/eligibility/Documents/COVID-19UninsuredGroupProgram/MC-374-ENG-09-2020.pdf\">COVID-19 Uninsured Group program application is available online\u003c/a>, and you can fill it out yourself — but it can only be submitted to Medi-Cal \u003cem>through\u003c/em> that qualified provider (QP).

He added that because this program is not as widely known, unfortunately some qualified providers may be unfamiliar with how to file an application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kane acknowledges that the burden of explaining what the Uninsured Group program is should not be placed on the patient, but adds that there are several options available if someone calls a provider who is not aware that this resource exists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Patients should tell a provider they are uninsured, or underinsured, and need coverage to access this care and that they know specifically about the COVID-19 Uninsured Group program, and ask to be enrolled in that program,” he explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kane says that if the provider insists they still don’t know what you’re talking about or that you’re not eligible for the program, you should either:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Request to speak to someone who works at that provider who is informed about this resource.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Reach out to another qualified provider.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://healthconsumer.org/contact/\">Contact the Health Consumer Alliance\u003c/a>, an advocacy group that supports Californians seeking health coverage and offers free legal aid.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>“This program exists for people who need it,” Kane said. “Just about everybody [who’s uninsured] in California is eligible.

Basically, these organizations know how to make your cash go a long way when it comes to buying food — and almost certainly further than you’d be able to if you buy it yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You might also be able to designate your dollars for a specific purpose. St. Anthony Foundation, for example, has taken its annual Holiday Curbside donation drive online — meaning you can \u003ca href=\"https://www.stanthonysf.org/virtual-curbside/\">make a donation via their website\u003c/a> and use those dollars to “shop” for food and clothing for those who use St. Anthony’s services. You can also, of course, \u003ca href=\"https://www.stanthonysf.org/donate/\">donate straight-up cash\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your money will also help organizations like GLIDE continue to keep the people who use their services safe from COVID-19, Mark said, as well as support an organization’s staff. Put simply, endlessly adapting to a pandemic is an expensive task for a nonprofit: from purchasing new packaging and flatware to be able to serve meals to-go rather than in a dining hall, to acquiring rain wear for staff to be able to serve clients outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, some organizations \u003cem>are\u003c/em> still accepting drop-off food donations, like the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank. Consult their list of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmfoodbank.org/fundraise-faq/\">most-needed foods\u003c/a> first (think tuna, peanut butter and chili.)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Be Flexible and Patient\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Mark advises that getting in touch with the organization of your choice to let them know you’re even \u003cem>available\u003c/em> to volunteer is a great way to get on their radar, especially at a time when some places — including GLIDE — are relying on a core of regular, known volunteers rather than a cycle of new ones during the pandemic. A dining hall or food bank might not be able to take advantage of your holiday availability straight away, but will be glad to do so in the coming weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark also stresses the gratitude organizations like GLIDE feel toward people who wish they could volunteer, but don’t feel safe or able to do so in person during the pandemic. So if your heart is telling you to volunteer but your head knows that your personal circumstances or health don’t make that possible, these places will look forwarding to welcoming you in 2021.

St. Anthony Foundation, for example, has taken its annual Holiday Curbside donation drive online — meaning you can \u003ca href=\"https://www.stanthonysf.org/virtual-curbside/\">make a donation via their website\u003c/a> and use those dollars to “shop” for food and clothing for those who use St. Anthony’s services. You can also, of course, \u003ca href=\"https://www.stanthonysf.org/donate/\">donate straight-up cash\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your money will also help organizations like GLIDE continue to keep the people who use their services safe from COVID-19, Mark said, as well as support an organization’s staff. Put simply, endlessly adapting to a pandemic is an expensive task for a nonprofit: from purchasing new packaging and flatware to be able to serve meals to-go rather than in a dining hall, to acquiring rain wear for staff to be able to serve clients outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, some organizations \u003cem>are\u003c/em> still accepting drop-off food donations, like the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank. Consult their list of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmfoodbank.org/fundraise-faq/\">most-needed foods\u003c/a> first (think tuna, peanut butter and chili.)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Be Flexible and Patient\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Mark advises that getting in touch with the organization of your choice to let them know you’re even \u003cem>available\u003c/em> to volunteer is a great way to get on their radar, especially at a time when some places — including GLIDE — are relying on a core of regular, known volunteers rather than a cycle of new ones during the pandemic. A dining hall or food bank might not be able to take advantage of your holiday availability straight away, but will be glad to do so in the coming weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark also stresses the gratitude organizations like GLIDE feel toward people who wish they could volunteer, but don’t feel safe or able to do so in person during the pandemic. So if your heart is telling you to volunteer but your head knows that your personal circumstances or health don’t make that possible, these places will look forwarding to welcoming you in 2021.

You can download books FO'FREE NINETY-NINE on your Kindle, or even as a PDF on your computer or phone. Extra pro tip is once you have the book on your kindle, you turn that puppy on airplane mode so it doesn't get whisked off your device once the loan is over! (the loan goes back to the library so someone else can check it out but the book is still on your device until you take it off airplane mode and sync it).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cb>Carly Severn\u003c/b>, KQED senior social media specialist\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nOne unexpected perk of my lack of commute (apart from, you know, not having to commute) has been an extra hour in the evening to properly watch movies. When you’ve reached “the end” of Netflix — it does exist — there’s a number of streaming options out there I hadn’t really ever considered before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Limited free trials are common, but with a little digging you can find their promo codes to extend them – for example, I got a month of the excellent horror-only streaming service Shudder with such a code, rather than their usual two weeks. Try searching Twitter for “[name of service]” + “trial” + “code”, or sign up to their emails – they’ll probably send you one. Of course, there’s Kanopy, too, which you can access free online with your library card. The selection there is stunning, and I am ashamed it took a pandemic for me to discover what your library card can get you.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Screen time \u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cb>Sreehari Menon\u003c/b>, reader submitted tip\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nTo reduce effects of screen-time that doubled (8hrs/day), I turned the night mode, which cuts blue light, to Always ON mode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cb>Lina Blanco\u003c/b>, Digital Manager of Engagement, KQED Arts & Culture\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nI need to get away from my screen!

In a similar fashion, I'm sending birthday gifts from the same folks. Note — this is not an original idea, and many of the online stores are sold out of many items: Andy's Orchard, Bariani, Charles Chocolates, Cowgirl Creamery, Far West Fungi, Heritage Foods, June Tayor Company, Lummi Island Wild, Native Harvest, Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co., Weavers Coffee and Tea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cb>Molly Solomon\u003c/b>, KQED housing reporter\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nSomething I discovered the other day was that a lot of bakeries are now selling their own sourdough starters or small packets of yeast for a dollar. Some have also been selling local flours. With flour and active yeast sold out at most major supermarkets or grocery stores, this has been so much easier! Most of the bakeries are doing curbside pick up, too, so you don’t even have to stand in line somewhere. The ones I like are Midwife and the Baker (in Mountain View) and Starter Bakery (in Berkeley). I’m sure other local bakeries are doing similar things.

My family has been ordering from Imperfect Foods for a few years now, so we were already on the get-produce-delivered-at-home bandwagon. Imperfect offers other grocery items as well such as pasta, eggs, dairy, pancake mix. The one downside is that the selection is not super consistent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cb>Sasha Khokha\u003c/b>, host, The California Report Magazine\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWe are trading produce and bulk items (bags of rice and beans) with neighbors on our street.

I’ve been able to buy some from Baking Arts, a retail shop specializing in all things baking, in San Mateo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I can’t find something, I go on Nextdoor and search posts. Generally, someone else has asked about where to find it and you can read through everyone’s tips. I learned what time of day Safeway tends to stock toilet paper this way, and was able to snag a pack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cb>Polly Stryker\u003c/b>, editor, KQED Science\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nI'm ordering food delivery for my dad (this is in the UK, but still), meals to his door. I'm ordering movies for him on Amazon and sending him chocolates and anything he needs by Amazon. I just ask to see what he wants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of our neighbors is gluten-intolerant. He can only eat a certain kind of bread (Ezekiel or wheat-free rye). We buy it for him and he's ordering wine for us from a wine shop. So, I guess, we communicate what each other needs and look out for it when we're at the store. We've been able to get him four loaves of this special bread.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Mental Health\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cb>Rick Hanson\u003c/b>, psychologist \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101877359/psychologist-rick-hanson-on-building-resilience-in-a-pandemic\">on KQED Forum\u003c/a> discussing dealing with anxiety:\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nI think there are three key things to do. Supported by a lot of research, certainly personal experience as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, find your footing. When we don't know where we stand, when we don't know what's going on around us and we don't have an immediate sort of action plan, then, of course, we're going to be more anxious. So to me, at this time in particular, it's important to draw on expertise, to listen to people who are scientists, public health officials, and clarify your immediate situation, find your footing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, calm and center.... Take those breaths, tune into your body, get us, get a grip, common center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then third, tend and be friend.... We're profoundly social mammals and this time, in particular, really calls us, I think, to tend to others and befriend others to make connections with others. And in so doing, besides coping more effectively neurologically and hormonally, it helps to calm us down and help us feel better and function better.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>(Quote edited for length and clarity.)\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>We want to know what changes you've made, big or small, to help get through this time.

When you’ve reached “the end” of Netflix — it does exist — there’s a number of streaming options out there I hadn’t really ever considered before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Limited free trials are common, but with a little digging you can find their promo codes to extend them – for example, I got a month of the excellent horror-only streaming service Shudder with such a code, rather than their usual two weeks. Try searching Twitter for “[name of service]” + “trial” + “code”, or sign up to their emails – they’ll probably send you one. Of course, there’s Kanopy, too, which you can access free online with your library card.

Note — this is not an original idea, and many of the online stores are sold out of many items: Andy's Orchard, Bariani, Charles Chocolates, Cowgirl Creamery, Far West Fungi, Heritage Foods, June Tayor Company, Lummi Island Wild, Native Harvest, Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co., Weavers Coffee and Tea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cb>Molly Solomon\u003c/b>, KQED housing reporter\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nSomething I discovered the other day was that a lot of bakeries are now selling their own sourdough starters or small packets of yeast for a dollar. Some have also been selling local flours. With flour and active yeast sold out at most major supermarkets or grocery stores, this has been so much easier! Most of the bakeries are doing curbside pick up, too, so you don’t even have to stand in line somewhere. The ones I like are Midwife and the Baker (in Mountain View) and Starter Bakery (in Berkeley). I’m sure other local bakeries are doing similar things. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Take those breaths, tune into your body, get us, get a grip, common center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then third, tend and be friend....

Below is a running collection that reporter Miranda Leitsinger has been building since late 2017. Did we miss a hike? \u003ca href=\"https://modules.wearehearken.com/kqed/embed/3634/share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Share it with us\u003c/a>.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiking is undoubtably a Bay Area pastime. When we asked our readers to share their favorite trails a few years ago, we received a few hundred replies from every corner of the bay — Livermore to Pescadero, Muir Beach to Mountain View, San Jose to Sonoma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trails include Little Yosemite, Brushy Peak and Gray Whale Cove. Some of you didn't want to share your secret, \"quiet\" getaway from the hiking hordes. (\"Like I’m telling. I don’t want my place to get overrun like Mission Peak,\" wrote Paula Baez.) Yeah, we get it. Others quipped that their \"hike\" was a stroll to the fridge (Jacque Sommers) or that \"relatives might get lost\" (Winston Fox Nelson). And yet others shared sweet memories of the trails. (\"The 8-mile trail to Point Reyes [is my favorite], mostly because it was the first of many hikes I took with the woman I married,\" wrote Mark Falstein.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of you did share your top picks — and pics (some with horses, dogs and kids in tow) — as well as your own telling names for trails, such as \"deer tick trail\" in Mount Diablo State Park, and some insider tips on park gems, like a cow named Stella in Rancho San Antonio Preserve, the abundance of banana slugs in Purisima Creek Redwoods Preserve, and historic Willson Camp in Henry Coe State Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's so hard to choose; they're all my favorites,\" wrote Barbara Baksa. Yes, we agree. And we hope some of these hikes will become new favorites for you, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>EAST BAY\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ebparks.org/parks/claremont_canyon/default.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Stonewall/Panoramic Trail in Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve, starting from Stonewall Road in Berkeley near the Claremont Resort.

You can do a nice walk to the trail from the Rockridge BART station. For a crossing of the Berkeley Hills, continue onto the EBMUD trails to the east of Grizzly Peak Road, and you can take the Delaveaga Trail down to Orinda and the Orinda BART station and then back to Rockridge. — \u003cem>Rob Gendreau\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ebparks.org/parks/contra_loma\">Contra Loma Regional Park\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reservoir loop AND the surrounding steep hills trails at Contra Loma in Antioch.

Once over the hill and through a quick ravine, the trail splinters to a forested beautiful ravine to the left, or to the right up a beloved mountain bike path/fire road. Depends on your mood. Both wind up at Lake Ilsanjo, which is quiet peaceful. Multiple options to extend your route via map trail posted at the lake. I would suggest printing the trail map out ahead of time.

Look no further, the KQED audience has a lot of spectacular trail recommendations for you. Below is a running collection that reporter Miranda Leitsinger has been building since late 2017. Did we miss a hike? \u003ca href=\"https://modules.wearehearken.com/kqed/embed/3634/share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Share it with us\u003c/a>.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiking is undoubtably a Bay Area pastime. When we asked our readers to share their favorite trails a few years ago, we received a few hundred replies from every corner of the bay — Livermore to Pescadero, Muir Beach to Mountain View, San Jose to Sonoma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trails include Little Yosemite, Brushy Peak and Gray Whale Cove. Some of you didn't want to share your secret, \"quiet\" getaway from the hiking hordes. (\"Like I’m telling. I don’t want my place to get overrun like Mission Peak,\" wrote Paula Baez.) Yeah, we get it. Others quipped that their \"hike\" was a stroll to the fridge (Jacque Sommers) or that \"relatives might get lost\" (Winston Fox Nelson). And yet others shared sweet memories of the trails. (\"The 8-mile trail to Point Reyes [is my favorite], mostly because it was the first of many hikes I took with the woman I married,\" wrote Mark Falstein.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of you did share your top picks — and pics (some with horses, dogs and kids in tow) — as well as your own telling names for trails, such as \"deer tick trail\" in Mount Diablo State Park, and some insider tips on park gems, like a cow named Stella in Rancho San Antonio Preserve, the abundance of banana slugs in Purisima Creek Redwoods Preserve, and historic Willson Camp in Henry Coe State Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's so hard to choose; they're all my favorites,\" wrote Barbara Baksa. Yes, we agree. And we hope some of these hikes will become new favorites for you, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>EAST BAY\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ebparks.org/parks/claremont_canyon/default.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Stonewall/Panoramic Trail in Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve, starting from Stonewall Road in Berkeley near the Claremont Resort. Super steep, but outstanding views. Continue on and it connects with the UC Berkeley Fire Trail system, and into Tilden Regional Park. You can do a nice walk to the trail from the Rockridge BART station. For a crossing of the Berkeley Hills, continue onto the EBMUD trails to the east of Grizzly Peak Road, and you can take the Delaveaga Trail down to Orinda and the Orinda BART station and then back to Rockridge. — \u003cem>Rob Gendreau\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ebparks.org/parks/contra_loma\">Contra Loma Regional Park\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reservoir loop AND the surrounding steep hills trails at Contra Loma in Antioch.

I have particularly used the following easy access trail entrance from Annadel Heights Road (no fee and easy parking). The main entrance is subtle with a bit of signage and a steep start. Once over the hill and through a quick ravine, the trail splinters to a forested beautiful ravine to the left, or to the right up a beloved mountain bike path/fire road. Depends on your mood. Both wind up at Lake Ilsanjo, which is quiet peaceful. Multiple options to extend your route via map trail posted at the lake. I would suggest printing the trail map out ahead of time. You can start from Spring Lake (Sonoma County park) as well, which is easy walking to slight difficulty after about a mile with a brief incline.\" \u003cem>— Julianne Odell\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>PENINSULA\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=532\">McNee Ranch/Montara Mountain/Montara State Beach\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11632915\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11632915\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28154_Hiking_McNeeMontara_Myers-qut-800x485.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"485\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28154_Hiking_McNeeMontara_Myers-qut-800x485.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28154_Hiking_McNeeMontara_Myers-qut-160x97.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28154_Hiking_McNeeMontara_Myers-qut.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28154_Hiking_McNeeMontara_Myers-qut-240x146.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28154_Hiking_McNeeMontara_Myers-qut-375x227.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28154_Hiking_McNeeMontara_Myers-qut-520x315.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gray Whale Cove Trail in McNee Ranch looking south to Montara. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Tracey Myers)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"McNee Ranch's Gray Whale Cove Trail has the best the Bay Area has to offer.

It offers a good workout, plus it has something that I really love when I hike, and that's rock formations.\" \u003cem>— Jeanette Marie\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.presidio.gov/trails\">\u003cstrong>The Presidio\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11632660\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 480px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11632660\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut.jpg 480w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-160x160.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-240x240.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-375x375.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Park Trail in the Presidio, San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Arjun Adamson)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Park Trail in the Presidio, SF (just outside the WWII cemetery) is gorgeous when you catch the light hitting the trees, easy hiking.\" \u003cem>— Arjun Adamson\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>SOUTH BAY\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There are so many great choices in \u003ca class=\"profileLink\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/santaclaracountyparks/?hc_location=ufi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Santa Clara County Parks:\u003c/a> I recommend Sanborn County Park for north county residents (shady, hills, easiest is John Nicholas Trail); Santa Teresa Park for central county (park in the Pueblo Day Use area and walk in any direction); and Harvey Bear-Coyote Lake for south county.

And of course, respect the walls themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11769105\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11769105\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS32678_19457917600_a0745537be_o-qut-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS32678_19457917600_a0745537be_o-qut-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS32678_19457917600_a0745537be_o-qut-1-800x533-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Downtown San Jose rises in the distance behind a small collection of stones seen from Monument Peak. \u003ccite>(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Team tip:\u003c/strong> Ed Levin County Park is home to the Wings of Rogallo hang gliding club, so don’t forget to look above you and watch hang gliders and paragliders soaring in the skies.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Take a Road Trip to a Sierra Ghost Town\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11769108\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11769108\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS28798_DSC_0825-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS28798_DSC_0825-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS28798_DSC_0825-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS28798_DSC_0825-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS28798_DSC_0825-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS28798_DSC_0825-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A building in the ghost town of Bodie, California. \u003ccite>(Carly Severn/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Want a real getaway?

On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
