March Match Up – Fresno State

Published: March 19, 2018, 8:26 a.m.

A recent study conducted by the Chancellor's office for all of the California State University campuses revealed that 43.7% of students at Fresno State face food insecurities. President Joseph Castro and his wife Mary Castro decided to help these students, who may sometimes go without a decent meal for three days or more, by opening The Student Cupboard. This on-campus food pantry helps supply about 3,200 students per month with food items they can take for the day, the week, or the month, depending on their needs. Our guest Mary Castro tells Lisa Casarez and Vikki Luna the importance of the March Match Up fundraiser, which will match  your donation up to $25,000. Their goal is to raise $100,000 which will help keep the Student Cupboard open for a year.
