Announced on: Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2026

Did you know that as a student employee, you could be eligible for CalFresh benefits and receive up to $298 per month for groceries?

To celebrate CalFresh Outreach Week, The Chico State CalFresh team is hosting a special event for on-campus student employees on Thursday, February 26th from 11 AM–1 PM in Trinity Commons to help eligible students apply for CalFresh on the spot! Students who work on campus and meet income and citizenship requirements may qualify. Please note, unfortunately most international students are not eligible to receive CalFresh benefits.
