Last week, we sent out a call to our wider Pacific community, asking folks to join together and extend a safety net of support for those impacted by the federal food assistance crisis. There's still time to be part of this effort. Your generosity sends a message to every Pacific student: "You belong here. Your dreams matter. We've got your back." See how you can support students facing food insecurity today.

This Saturday, November 1, federal food assistance programs including SNAP and WIC will lose funding due to the ongoing government shutdown. Nearly 42 million Americans – including many in our Pacific family – will lose access to these critical benefits. Our campus food pantries – the Boxer Food Share in Forest Grove and the Hillsboro Campus Food Pantry – are ramping up efforts to help fill the gap for our students as federal benefits disappear.
