PROJECT
Food Access
DESCRIPTION
Aria will continue working with the Student Health and Counseling Services' Fruit & Veggie Up food access program, collaborating with the marketing team and the campus CalFresh representatives. She will work to enhance existing projects and build greater collaboration with Yolo County to increase both undergraduate and graduate student access to resources. These include programs such as WIC, the Yolo County Food Bank, edible landscaping on campus, Aggie Student Farms, and The Pantry. Efforts with CalFresh/Yolo will continue to grow, increasing student access to services such as CalFresh. Aria will help this process by exploring collaborations with student groups, including but not limited to, the Student Nutrition Association on campus.
