Lunch on Us
The Lunch On Us program is a service offered to help support students facing food insecurity. Working collaboratively with campus vendors and nearby restaurants, OCSU covers the cost of lunch up to $15 for the first 15 students who sign up at the beginning of each calendar month. Students can redeem their lunch at any time during that month, and the benefit resets at the start of the following month if unused. This program has proven to be an effective way to support students while also increasing engagement and outreach on campus. Please contact us for info on how to register.
Community Resources
Second Harvest Food Bank is a food program that embodies the principle of "those who have more than they need sharing with those who have less." Food is provided from the four main food groups and we have a special milk program for families with children. This program is run exclusively by volunteers and generous community donors.
(*Not free, but low cost)
The Good Food Box is a volunteer non-profit, produce buying cooperative for those people who are finding it difficult to stretch their food dollars to include fresh fruits and vegetables. Anyone can purchase a Good Food Box.
Pay $15.00 by the second Thursday of the month and pick up your box the following Thursday.
