Still have questions? Here’s what members and caregivers ask us most.
Umoja Food For Health works with participating Medi-Cal health plans in California to deliver healthy groceries to members who qualify, at no cost to them. We’re a minority-owned company, and because the groceries come through your own health plan, this is a real benefit your plan covers.
That’s right. If you qualify, there’s no cost to you, no copay and no bill. It’s covered by your Medi-Cal plan. Checking only takes about 2 minutes.
No. It’s an extra, optional benefit on top of your regular Medi-Cal, so it won’t replace or reduce anything you already have, and you can stop anytime. Your answers stay confidential, too.
Yes. We keep your information private and secure. We only use it to confirm you qualify, set up your groceries, and coordinate your care, and we don’t sell it. You can read our privacy policy for the details.
According to California’s Medi-Cal program, using Medi-Cal isn’t counted in a public charge decision (as of 2026). These rules can change and depend on your situation, so if you have questions about your case, talk to a qualified immigration attorney or an accredited representative. We can’t give immigration advice.
Healthy groceries delivered right to your home, chosen for your health: fruits, vegetables, and everyday staples. You’ll get deliveries on a regular schedule for up to 12 weeks.
This is a grocery program, so you’ll make the meals at home. We pick groceries that are simple to prepare and good for your condition.
We add new health plans over time, so check back, or contact us and we’ll help you figure out your options.
You can apply for yourself, and you don’t need a referral from your doctor. A family member, caregiver, care manager, social worker, or health care provider can refer someone too. Helping a loved one? You can start for them right here.
