During the commissioners' requests segment, staff described two related assistance efforts: a general Baldwin Park Emergency Relief program and a SNAP‑recipient food distribution initiative accepting applications at the Terry G. Muse Family Service Center.
Staff said the emergency relief program is open to any Baldwin Park resident who meets qualifying criteria, including evidence of loss of income. For the SNAP‑recipient distribution, Hernandez told commissioners staff are "currently accepting applications at the Terry G Muse family service center," and that applicants should provide photo ID, proof of residency (a recent utility bill within the last three months) and verification of SNAP/CalFresh participation.
Hernandez described the application window and intake hours at the family service center (Monday through Thursday) and said applicants will be notified of distribution pickup dates once staff determine logistics. She also distinguished that a separate flyer on commissioners’ packets described senior‑center hours and that the new SNAP‑recipient flyer will be sent to commissioners.
Commissioners requested the updated flyer with the exact intake hours and asked staff to confirm pickup dates and any photographic ID requirements for specific programs. Hernandez said she would circulate the new flyer and contact information to commissioners.
