Food insecurity threatens one in three college students nationally. Closer to home, 48 percent of UC Santa Cruz undergraduates say they don’t have consistent access to food. This problem has physical and academic consequences—when students don’t have consistent access to food, their well-being and studies are impacted. The Redwood Free Market is a free resource for students, allowing them to take what they need from the pantry at no cost. Visitors can access fresh produce, dry goods, and other pantry items.
The Redwood Free Market is a critical resource for student success. Students rely on the Redwood Free Market to keep themselves nourished and healthy. During the 20/21 school year, the market logged 7,704 visits.
“Without the pantry, I would be struggling to budget every month for food costs and would be more concerned about money. The pantry allows me to eat good, fresh food and stay within my budget. It genuinely shifts me from constantly worrying if I can afford food to not having that be something I worry about, which is a huge benefit to my mental health and daily stress levels.” - Student utilizing the Redwood Free Market
UC Santa Cruz partners with the local food bank to purchase food for the Redwood Free Market. Thanks to this partnership, every dollar donated to the Redwood Free Market goes even further. Every $1 donated provides four meals for a student in need.
Every donation will put food in the hands of UC Santa Cruz students, allowing them to focus on their studies and thrive. Make your gift to the Redwood Free Market today.
