Wishing you a very Happy Holiday from the Amendola Family Student Cupboard. We can't wait to see you in 2023!

While the Student Cupboard is closed, we want to encourage students to find food pantries near you. Visit foodfinder.us and type in your zip code to find resources near you. We will see you back on campus beginning January 3.

We have been so grateful to serve so many Fresno State students in 2022, but can't wait to see what we can accomplish in the new year. Happy New Year Bulldogs!

The Amendola Family Student Cupboard is back open and excited to serve our Fresno State students. Drop in during our winter hours Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Industrial Technology (IT) Room 144. We will resume semester hours on January 17.

ORANGE you excited for January's #HarvestOfTheMonth? Did you know that oranges provide a good source of fiber and folate? Folate is a B vitamin that helps make healthy red blood cells. Stay tuned for some tasty recipes throughout the month.

We're 1 week out from the start of the semester. Time to start planning for healthy treats you can take on the go. Try these Ginger Orange muffins you can enjoy during your commute to campus or as you sprint across campus to your next class. Recipe at bit.ly/3Gkb6Km

The Amendola Family Student Cupboard will be closed today in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We will resume normal semester hours on Tuesday, January 17, 2023.

Welcome Back Bulldogs! As you kickstart your Spring 2023 semester, make sure you stop by Industrial Technology Room 144 to stock up on healthy foods to fuel your body and mind. Also... stay tuned for a big reveal that you won't want to miss!

Headed to the store to stock up on oranges? Look for firm oranges with shiny skins that feel heavy for their size. Oranges with thin skins tend to be juicier than those with thick skins. #HarvestOfTheMonth

The Harvest of the Month for March is avocados! Did you know that just 1/2 a cup of sliced avocados provides an excellent source of monosaturated fats (a healthier fat)? Monosaturated fats help to lower "bad" cholesterol (LDL) levels and can raise "good" cholesterol (HDL) levels.

A BIG thank you to Sanger Unified School District's TARGET program! These students recently harvested fresh vegetables like swiss chard, purple fresh broccoli, cilantro, and purple cauliflower and donated it to the Amendola Family Student Cupboard.

#DYK that the Student Cupboard also supports student parents? Students with diaper wearing children in the home can visit the Student Cupboard once a month to receive 125 diapers (sizes 0-6 are available) and 2 packs of wipes to support their household.

The Amendola Family Student Cupboard will be closed tomorrow, March 31 in honor of Cesar Chavez Day. But don't worry! We'll be back open Saturday, April 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

April's Harvest of the Month is dried fruit. #DYK that 1/4 cup of dried fruit is also a source of potassium. This mineral helps your brain tell your muscles when to move and helps keep a healthy blood pressure and use the energy found in carbohydrates.

Check out this simple granola recipe to incorporate dried fruit into your meals. Add it to yogurt or sprinkle it on a fruit salad for added crunch and flavor. Check out the full recipe at bit.ly/eatfreshgranola.

Did you know that a quarter cup of dried plums, chopped dates, or dried figs is a good source of fiber. Fiber helps you feel full, keep normal blood sugar levels, and avoid constipation. #HarvestOfTheMonth

Trying to figure out how to store your dried fruits? Place dried fruit in an airtight container to keep fresh. Keep it in a cool, dry place like a cupboard, or keep in the refrigerator for up to six months. #HarvestOfTheMonth

Throw a small baggie of this trail mix into your bag before you leave the house so you'll have something healthy to snack on during the day. Find the recipe at bit.ly/eatfreshtrailm…. #HarvestOfTheMonth
