CalFresh Application Assistance

The BNC has a team of student staff and full-time staff to help connect students to CalFresh, a long time food resource. CalFresh is a federally funded program, also known as SNAP/EBT, that provides eligible students with up to $292 to purchase food. CalFresh benefits are loaded onto an EBT card which can be used at most major grocery stores, the Berkeley Student Food Collective, and select farmers markets.
