Help Us Mitigate Changes to CalFresh
SMU student food pantries assist students who qualify for CalFresh, California's implementation of the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Every week around 80 - 100 SMU students select groceries and personal items from one of our food pantries to supplement their CalFresh benefits.
It costs $10 per student visit and roughly $900 per week to keep each of our pantries stocked.
As changes in federal funding take effect in a few weeks, our food pantries will become even more critical to students who may lose access to 50-100% of their CalFresh benefits.
Help us keep our food pantries stocked and close this critical gap for our students.
With your support, we will reach our goal of $14,400 and keep the food pantry stocked for the next four months.
