The SRJC Student Resource Centers have been working towards developing a plan to address the pause on SNAP (Cal Fresh) benefits and to mitigate the impact on our students.

As such, the following strategies are in place, allowing SRJC to come together in support.

• In anticipation of a strain on local food banks, we are coordinating the SRJC Community Food Drive.
  • To ensure this effort provides the ability for students to prepare meals at home, we are asking for donations of items matching those listed here. Food Drive drop-off locations:

• Petaluma Campus: Welcome & Connect Center in Building 500
• Roseland: Building N Room 682
• Santa Rosa Campus : Student Life Desk on the First Floor Bartolini

• If you would like to support our efforts to increase food distribution to students through a monetary donation, you can make a gift online via the SRJC Foundation.
  • Visit: https://give.santarosa.edu/donate  and choose Basic Needs from the drop down menu.

• The Santa Rosa Campus, SRJC Roseland, and SRJC Petaluma Basic Needs will ensure their food pantries, and food distributions are increased.
• Santa Rosa Campus food kiosk hours are found here.
• SRJC Roseland hours are found here.
• SRJC Petaluma Campus pantry hours are found here, and upcoming Free Farmer’s Market dates are found here.
• PSTC, Shone Farm, and Online students should email socialwork@santarosa.edu for alternative locations if those listed do not work.

• Services have been increased to provide grocery cards to students directly impacted by the SNAP (Cal Fresh) pause.
• Grocery cards will be distributed to students who are SNAP (Cal Fresh) recipients by location. Students must bring proof of Cal Fresh eligibility such as their EBT card.
