Our services currently include a campus food pantry, a weekly stand with free fresh fruits and vegetables (during the growing season), CalFresh application assistance, connections to other local food resources, and outreach events.We provide CalFresh assistance to anyone who needs it, however our pantry and food redistribution services are for matriculated HSU students only.

Call to make an appointment.For the Social Work Department, Oh SNAP! may be used as an internship for SW 255, 355, 682, and 683.RESEARCHWe also make an effort to advocate the college student’s needs and concerns in order to ease restrictions on CalFresh eligibility through surveys and research. Food insecurity is a significant issue among college students, especially for students with dependent children who are pursuing college education; so, we are making efforts to strengthen support systems to increase access to nutritious foods for students in need. Although the campus food pantry supplies some foods for students in need, it can’t provide them with increasing amounts of much needed food due to the limited funding. For this problem, we provide shuttle services from the campus to Arcata Food Pantry every Saturday so that students are able to get more foods from the local food pantry. In addition, CalFresh eligibility requirements for college students would be revised because we are trying to advocate for increased ease in the eligibility rules for CalFresh through various channels. Therefore, it is necessary to consider other initiatives such as campus gardens and policies to increase access to nutritious foods and, more broadly, improve students’ economic stability and well-being.CLASS PROJECTOh SNAP may be able to assist you with a class project or assignment! Feel free to ask if we can be of any assistance.CLUBJoin the Oh SNAP! club! We are committed to reducing barriers to accessing CalFresh and other public benefits aimed at improving student health and academic success.

FAQCan a student from any major get involved?Yes! The more perspectives the better. Having a variety of backgrounds at OH SNAP! allows us the ability to think through things differently.I thought students did not qualify for CalFresh. What has changed?Nothing has changed–although we are trying to make it easier for students to gain access to CalFresh benefits. We had the thought as students, that we wouldn’t qualify. We have now learned about specific student qualifications statuses that help students qualify CalFresh benefits.How often can I use the pantry?Currently any HSU student can access the pantry once a week, but please feel free to stop by for coffee or tea anytime. Please see pantry hours.How do I know if I am eligible to get food from the campus food pantry?The campus food pantry is open to any HSU students including international students and exchange students. Please make sure to bring your student ID.What happened to the Farm Stand?We only run our Farm stand during the fall harvest, so it is currently closed but will resume this fall.What do I need to bring with me to the pantry?You don’t have to bring any form of identification, just please bring a bag!.fusion-fullwidth-21 { padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; }PARTNERS .fusion-fullwidth-22 { padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; }CONTACT USRecreation and Wellness Center, Room [email protected] Oh SNAP! thanks Food For People for their ongoing support launching and sustaining our programs.Posts by DateMay 2022MTWTFSS« Feb12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031HomeAbout UsHealthy RecipesStudent ProjectsResources: Local FoodResources: MedicalResources: CommunityResources: CalFresh The Humboldt State University Oh SNAP! program is a partnership between the HSU Department of Social Work and HSU Health Education. | Site design by IgNova Design
