GROCERY CARD SUPPORT

Grocery Card Support

Section 1

Apply for a one-time electronic grocery card supporting students who are not able to physically access the resources at the FRESH Basic Needs Hub's pantry. 

We encourage any students who are facing food insecurity and challenges accessing food assistance to apply to the Grocery Card Support Program. Eligible students can receive an electronic grocery card to Kroger Stores (Ralphs & Food-For-Less). If approved, the grocery card is delivered electronically to the student's UCI email.
