Our Mission

The ASI Food Pantry exists to provide food and basic necessities to Sac State students with financial hardships and low food security, at no cost. In addition to helping alleviate hunger within our student community, the ASI Food Pantry aims to decrease the negative impact that low food security has on the academic success of our students.

What is Friendsgiving Feast?

The ASI Food Pantry is hosting two days of Friendsgiving Feast, a warm and vibrant community gathering with free lunch buffet, crafts, music, and games! This November, we’re creating a space for everyone to come together, enjoy a festive meal, and experience the true spirit of Thanksgiving.
