弹出式食品储藏室计划是博彩平台解决学生饥饿问题的举措之一。 （博彩平台/Jessica Vernone）数千名博彩平台的学生在食物短缺的问题上挣扎，许多人无家可归。 再加上突如其来的意外开支，他们可能会辍学，再也不会回来。
Sac州立大学有近一半的学生有资格获得联邦财政援助，在博彩平台（CSU）系统中处于领先地位，拥有庞大的安全网来帮助他们。
“What we have here is the full complement,” says Beth Lesen, assistant vice president for Student Affairs and Dean of Students. “One campus may be really good with emergency housing. 另一个人可能擅长应急基金，另一个人擅长食品储藏室。
"But we’ve got it all, and we’re diligently, actively looking every day for any gaps we need to plug.”
The students have an advocate in the University’s case manager, Danielle Muñoz, who works to remove obstacles to their education. 去年，她帮助了275名学生。 今年，她在9月的前两周就看到了50只。 有些学生直接找她，但大多数是由教职员工或行为干预小组介绍的。
“We encourage any student experiencing challenges that impact their academics to reach out to us,” says Muñoz. “Case management services are becoming more common on college campuses as we recognize the importance of this support for students. Students who have their basic needs met, and are connected to the appropriate services during their time of need, can better focus on their academics and work toward a timely graduation.”
On behalf of Student Affairs, Muñoz and Lesen accepted a Congressional recognition certificate from Assemblyman Kevin McCarty during the 2017 Hunger & Homelessness Community Awards.

食品不安全
联合学生公司（ASI）， 食品储藏室和弹出式储藏室 – 囊状态’s student government leadership opened the campus food closet in 2015年9月. 学生们可以每周来一次，用他们有效的萨克州立一体卡（囊状态 one - ecard）购买洗漱用品和不易变质的食品。 食品储藏室依靠来自校园社区和当地企业的捐赠。 ASI与市中心食品篮合作，开设了快闪食品室，学生可以在那里购买免费的新鲜水果和蔬菜。
“With the many financial demands of being a college student, there is an undeniable and increasing need for access to wholesome food on this campus and across the CSU,” says Mia Kagianis, 2017-18 ASI president. “I’ve seen the impact this program makes in the lives of my peers, and I truly believe that the ASI Food Pantry increases students' success. Our mission moving forward is to sustain these programs so they can continue to serve students in need.”
学生们正在以创纪录的数量求助于ASI食品储藏室和弹出式食品储藏室。 在2016-17学年，优胜美地大厅的食品储藏室向1000多名学生分发了32,868件食品和化妆品，每周约有127名学生来访。 每次弹出式食品储藏室活动都吸引了大约350名学生。
2017年9月，这一数字有所上升，平均每周有207次访问食品储藏室。 9月份的三次弹出式食品储藏室活动共为1800名学生提供服务。
养一只大黄蜂 – Student Affairs and the 萨克拉门托州 Alumni Association collaborated on this new and growing project. 感兴趣的校友会与一名缺饭吃的学生配对，他们每月邀请这名学生到家里吃两次饭。
“So far, only three alumni are participating, and it’s been a good experience for everyone,” Lesen says. “One pairing is so pleased that it’s developed into a mentorship where they talk with their student about her career goals.”
附近的教堂 – Members of the Newman Center, Fremont Presbyterian, and 萨克拉门托 Central Seventh-Day Adventist Church, all close to campus, have opened their homes to 囊状态 students who are homeless or hungry.
CalFresh – 萨克拉门托州 received $15,000 from SNAP, the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, to enroll eligible students in CalFresh, the nutrition assistance program that helps them stretch their food budget. 到目前为止，已有100多名学生提出申请。
满足储藏室 – This service will launch in spring 2018, when students can sign up on the 博彩平台博彩平台程序 to receive push notifications whenever leftover food is available after catered functions at the University Union, 油井, and Alumni Center. 学生将有20分钟的时间到达地点，并必须在那里用餐。 The pilot project is modeled after Fresno State’s Catered Cupboard and is sponsored by IRT, UEI, the University Union, and 校园餐厅.
ASI的学生参与和外联主管鲁本·格林沃尔德（Reuben Greenwald）说：“ASI还在建设餐饮储藏室，因为我们希望当我们的办公室搬回大学联盟并有冰箱时，能有一些剩饭剩菜。”
住房不稳定
萨克拉门托 is one of the country’s priciest rental markets, making it difficult for students to find affordable housing. If they’re evicted for not paying their rent, they may become homeless and forced to sleep on a friend’s couch, in their car or a tent, on church steps, or at a shelter.
学生紧急住房计划 – As many as four students at a time can live in a campus residence hall for up to 30 days. The monthlong “breathing room” gives students and the crisis manager time to arrange for long-term housing. Students also get a meal plan for the Dining Commons if they don’t have federal Supplementary Security Income (SSI) or CalFresh benefits.
校外应急住房 – Student Affairs makes short-term housing arrangements off-campus for students who can’t be placed in a residence hall (for example, if the student has a child.)
“We tailor every single thing for every single individual person,” Lesen says.
Herky’s Roommate Finder – The University’s mascot is the namesake of this 学生网上服务 who can’t afford to live alone.
“It’s an idea initiated last year by ASI and developed by ASI and IRT in collaboration with Student Affairs,” says Greenwald.
意外的财务紧急情况
学生应急基金 – Students faced with a sudden, short-term financial hardship, such as a car repair, that can’t be resolved with a loan or other resources, may apply for as much as $1,500. 补助金是按费用数额发放的。 The grant does not have to be repaid but is a “resource of last resort.”
囊状态’s Student Advancement Council and Student Alumni Association raise money for the emergency fund.
赛斯·罗伯特·尼尔森紧急基金 – President Robert S. Nelsen and his wife, Jody, endowed this fund in the memory of their late son.
缺少职业装
学生事务处将于2018年春季举办下一次服装募捐活动。 Last year, the effort brought in approximately 800 pieces of “career clothing” that were distributed to more than 300 students, to help them dress professionally for job interviews and internships.
缺乏理财技能
Lesen提出了一个计划来帮助学生管理他们的经济援助支出。
“They get $5,000 at the beginning of the year, and many have never seen $5,000 before,” she says. “Come the end of October, it's all gone and they still have to get through November and December. We would like to provide an opt-in service where students sign over their financial aid and it comes back to them in the form of a regular paycheck.”
计划的细节仍在制定中。 – 迪克西•里德
