Traditionally, the CCAA SAAC sponsors a conference-wide food drive during the month of February where each school devotes a week of the month to collecting canned and boxed goods for donation to either their campus pantry or a local charity. We want to continue the tradition as it is needed now more than ever, but due to COVID, it needs to be done in a safe and healthy manner.

This year we will not be collecting canned or boxed goods but instead, we have teamed up with Oh Snap! to launch a virtual food drive where all the money donated will go to support their program and cause. Our goal is to raise $1,000 which equates to about 2,000 canned goods.

Oh SNAP! Student Food Programs is a student-driven initiative. Their mission is to increase access to nutritious and culturally appropriate food for all Humboldt State students by engaging in campus and community partnerships and by raising awareness of food insecurity among our peers. They aim to provide fellow students with basic necessities and connections to community resources. Their 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.

Thank you for helping us reach our goal of $1000 (2,000 cans) so we can provide access to healthy foods and resources to every student on campus.
