A.S. EVPLA & UCSB Thrive bring to you a Calfresh Enrollment Party!
Are you interested in applying for CalFresh and would like some help with the application? Our CalFresh and Basic Needs Advocates can help you determine if you are eligible, talk you through the application process, and assist you along the way if you run into any challenges. We are hosting an in person enrollment party at the Habor & Lobero Rooms in the UCEN.
Please sign up below if you are interested in attending. This is an in-person event. Also, we recommend bringing a laptop (if possible, if not we will have a few to loan during the event) and the documents under "Please bring with you" on this page: https://basicneeds.ucsb.edu/resources/food/calfresh under the header "How do I apply for CalFresh?" (it is fine to have electronic copies on your computer or print copies, whatever is easier for you).
If you would prefer to know if you are likely to be eligible for CalFresh ahead of time, please feel free to also fill out our prescreen form: Calfresh Pre-Screen Form and we will email you within one business day to let you know if you are likely to be eligible.
If you feel sick for any reason the day of, please do not come to the event. In this case, we recommend that you schedule a zoom appointment with us when you feel up to it here: https://shoreline.ucsb.edu/meetings/m2727/bookanadvocate(You'll need to sign in with your UCSB netID on this site).
Please note that the CalFresh and Basic Needs Program is committed to being inclusive. For students, we may use your student ID/perm number to generate demographic data about our program. This helps us to track how well we are serving the many diverse communities that our program hope to support.
