Going to eat at fast-food restaurants has become a luxury in today’s economy. In recognition of Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week (HHAW), ASI would like to remind students that you are not alone and encourage you to use the resources available to you while you are still at Long Beach State University (LBSU).
Thankfully as a student at LBSU, we have ASI’s Laurén Chalmers '83 Beach Pantry to help provide us with FREE groceries and snacks throughout the week. All you need is your LBSU identification card!
Right now, the Fraternity & Sorority Life Food Drive Competition is encouraging Greek life students, and the campus broadly, to donate food to the pantry to help our students eat from now till Nov. 22! Take advantage of the delicious variety of food our pantry may currently have.
Thanks to ASI Beach Kitchen, Sustain U and other organizations, there are FREE cooking classes available for students. Typically, the classes and recipes are based on upcoming seasons and what food resources we have available at the pantry. Cal Fresh Healthy Living is hosting a Cooking Class at the ASI Beach Kitchen on Dec. 4 at 12 p.m. Be sure to save your seat and RSVP on Events & Orgs.
If you want additional support or resources, don’t be afraid to walk over to the Basic Needs Center in USU room 112. You are not alone.
Do not forget to subscribe to our ASI Events and Inside the Pantry newsletter to keep up with food-based events and more happening on our campus!
