Sonoma State University has a Basic Needs Program that includes integrated support for students who are food insecure. Included in our program is support for students in accessing CalFresh subsidies. Our CalFresh team will be overseen by a case worker and will include student interns. In collaboration with community partners, this team will do outreach to inform the student community of CalFresh through public events, social media, educational class presentations, and referrals from faculty, staff and other students.
