Swipe Out Hunger Emergency Meal Program
CSUSB is partnering with Swipe Out Hunger and Yotie Eats, to bring this incredible meal donation program to campus. Students experiencing food insecurity and/or a student emergency, can now get access to healthy and well-balanced meals at the Yotie Eats. A student who believes they are in need of these emergency meals can submit the request form below. Students may be required to meet with the Basic Needs Coordinator to discuss individual needs and review the program.
