CalFresh assistance is available at both locations. The Chico State Basic Needs Project is a collaborative effort of campus and community-based programs with the goal to improve student success through the provision of supplemental food, nutritious meals, government-funded food benefits, research-based education, short-term housing, emergency grants and referral services for students experiencing
food insecurity, hunger, displacement, homelessness and poverty. Current programs and initiatives include the Hungry Wildcat Food Pantry, on campus CalFresh Outreach (SNAP) supplemental food assistance, and more! Mission:
To improve the campus learning environment by proactively addressing the barriers and challenges of food insecurity, housing displacement, homelessness and poverty so that Chico State students can more easily maintain their well-being to improve academic success, graduate and remain a part of the University community as successful alumni. Values:
We believe that access to adequate and nutritious food is a basic human right, that a university education should be a reasonable means of overcoming poverty and that service, research and education is key to alleviating the barrier of poverty to improve student opportunity and the communities we serve.
