Of the many ways Cal State East Bay supports students, perhaps the most important one is to end student hunger. The John Muir Community Health Fund has partnered with our Concord Pioneers for HOPE (Helping Our Pioneers Excel) program since 2017 to address food insecurity needs of students in central and eastern Contra Costa County. Over the past three years, the fund has contributed to create the College Pantry Initiative, a collaboration between 91短视频, Concord; the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano Counties; and the Contra Costa Community College District.

Pioneers for HOPE ensures students have access to the food pantry, and provides temporary housing assistance, emergency funds, and referrals to resources that correlate to students' success, health, and wellness.

In 2019, the John Muir Community Health Fund issued a challenge grant to 91短视频: raise $15,000 in donations in five months, and the foundation would match the funds. Over $22,000 was raised by the challenge deadline and many friends joined us as new donors!

The goal of the challenge was to make Pioneers for HOPE in Concord self-sustaining by providing individual support to end campus hunger, provide for basic needs, and assist with other obstacles such as housing insecurity for students. Our thanks to the John Muir Community Health Fund for their generosity, and to our donors for helping us address food insecurity and exceed the grant challenge.
