Answer 1

I couldn't find anything on Food Stamps or Cash Assistant, but you could ask the WIC Office for the locations and phone numbers.

Below are about WIC and other programs.

Women, Infants & Children (WIC)
Nutrition Services Division – WIC Program
The City of Long Beach Nutrition Services Division (NSD) – WIC Program - is committed to improving the overall health of the community by reaching out and providing support. The Nutrition Services Division meets these ends by providing a wide variety of programs that include the following:

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Special Supplemental Nutrition Program

Nutrition Education and Counseling on a Variety of Topics

Breastfeeding Education and Consultation

Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program

Breastfeeding Hospital Rounds

Speaker’s Bureau





The WIC Program
One particular program that plays a large role in the NSD’s efforts to reach out to the Long Beach community is the WIC Program. The WIC Program is a supplemental nutrition program that provides monthly food coupons, nutrition education and referrals, breastfeeding support, and access to prenatal and pediatric health care services.



Program Eligibility
To be eligible for the WIC Program you must meet the following criteria:

For low-income, pregnant women, postpartum women, breastfeeding mothers, infants, and children five years and under who live in Long Beach.

Applicants must meet federal low-income guidelines.

Applicants must be at a nutritional risk, which must be determined by a health professional.

If eligible to receive WIC Program services, participants are provided with food coupons that are redeemable at authorized stores for specified foods, such as milk, cereal, eggs, cheese, juice, peanut butter, beans, and infant formula. Food coupons are issued monthly and must be used within 30 days. Participants must also provide staff with proof of regular medical assessment. If eligibility continues, women may participate in WIC for as long as six months after their baby is born or up to one year if they are breastfeeding. Infants and children may participate until age five.
