Food Revolutionaries and Environmentally Sustainable Highlanders
Team FRESH involves and empowers UCR students to provide basic needs resources, education, and referrals to the UC Riverside community. All peers work with an understanding that food security is one part of the basic needs umbrella which also includes housing, transportation, safety, and well-being (basicneeds.ucr.edu). The program balances direct services, through R'Pantry distributions, with awareness campaigns, educational programs, promotion of sustainable resources such as CalFresh, and social events to support student success on campus.
2019-2020 Team:
