Welcome to my blog!
My name is Andrew and I’m currently a senior taking Environment 25: Good Food for Everyone: Health, Sustainability, and Culture at UCLA. This blog is part of a project requirement for the class.
As a student receiving Calfresh this year, I wanted to create a blog informing others (mainly college students) of the many benefits that food stamps bring. I understand that there’s a lot of stigma and misconceptions behind food assistance programs, so I hope that this blog will educate and dispel any misinformation.
If you qualify for Calfresh, I would highly encourage you to apply! As a college student living in the apartments, having food stamps have been extremely helpful in not only lessening the financial burden of college but also creating healthier food habits.
If you have any questions please send an email to alin5744@g.ucla.edu.
