About us:
Oh SNAP! Student Food Programs is a student-driven initiative. Our mission is to increase access to nutritious and culturally appropriate food for all Humboldt State University (HSU) students by engaging in campus and community partnerships and by raising awareness of food insecurity among our peers.
We aim to provide our fellow students with basic necessities and connections to community resources. 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. If you have questions about this please contact ohsnap@humboldt.edu.

All money raised goes to support the pantry, farm stand, and emergency housing fund. Follow @hsuohsnap on Instagram to stay updated.
