Fall Quarter – Week 7 Newsletter

Below are this week's updates:
 

CalFresh and Food Resources Update

As of now, CalFresh has been restored to most (if not all) CalFresh recipients for November. As a result, the GSP Emergency CalFresh Support has been paused until we know more about what will happen for December. We'll keep everyone updated. Meanwhile, GSP has added MORE canned and dry foods! We have our regular pantry for snacks and lunches, as well as a pantry to take food home! Come by during GSP hours!

If you are still in need of support, complete an Essential Needs Grants:

Note: This survey is mandatory for students who are in Academic Notice and/or Subject to Disqualification.
