We believe nutritious food is a basic human right that's vital to our community's well-being and success. The Hawk Cares Food Market is an inclusive, dignified space, committed to meeting our students' needs with compassionate food distribution and support.
If you are a CRC student and cannot pick up food during our open hours, we have an option for you!
The Hawk Cares Food Market and CalFresh provide students with essential resources and access to healthy, nutritious food options, ensuring they have the support they need to thrive academically and personally.
We offer CalFresh Assistance in partnership with River City Food Bank. Students of Cosumnes River College are able to schedule a one-on-one session with a River City Food Bank representative and discuss information regarding CalFresh. Services include: pre-screening for eligibility, application assistance, and trouble shooting for those already on CalFresh.
Note: If you find that the listed dates and times in the scheduler do not work with your schedule, you can connect with River City Food Bank directly at (916) 233-4075 or email calfresh@rivercityfoodbank.org. You can also reach out to CRC Hawk CARES Center at crc-hawkcares@crc.losrios.edu.
To place an after-hours pick up, fill out the Hawk Spot Food Market after hours pick-up form.
Upon completing the form, you will receive an email with pick up instructions. A Hawk CARES staff member will place your order in a locker (located in the Technology building) once it is received.
Students will have 72 hours to pick up their order; if the order is not picked up, the student will need to submit a new order.
Hawk CARES Lounge
The Hawk CARES lounge is a welcoming community space where students can grab a snack and study, socialize, or play their favorite tabletop games.
