variety of food services and resources

A variety of food services and resources are made available to students to assist those facing food insecurity while attending FRC.  The services listed below provide free or low cost meals throughout each semester, and students are encouraged to access resources in the community  as needed.

Formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, Cal-Fresh is for people whose funds for food are limited or non-existent. The application process is respectful and confidential.  Once approved, you will be issued a card that can be used like a regular bank card at grocery stores and other participating locations.
