Mission Statement

The mission of Oh Snap is to increase access to nutritious and culturally appropriate food for all Cal Poly Humboldt students. Our core values are: Access – access to good food is the right of every student on campus (and every human being); Equity – all students (humans) should have equal opportunities to access good food; Justice – food for all!; and Community engagement – Through local, state and national level partnerships, Oh Snap is working to build an equitable, community-driven campus food system. 

OhSNAP! started in 2013 when students and Social Work Professor Jen Maguire began connecting students with state food assistance benefits known as CalFresh. With the help of Lead for Health Education & Clinic Support Services Mira Friedman, Oh SNAP! opened the food pantry the following year and has served thousands of students.
