Student Community Resources

Saints Food Share

Saints Food Share fights hunger and fuels student success by distributing non-perishable groceries and baked goods to SF students and employees experiencing food insecurity. Free baked goods are available on Mondays starting at 7:30 a.m. in the S Breezeway. Personalized bags of non-perishable groceries are also available by request. There is a grab-and-go pantry in the Student Life lobby so nobody has to go to class hungry. To request groceries or make a referral for someone experiencing food insecurity, contact sarah.blanc@sfcollege.edu.
