SNAPO

What is SNAPO? We play bingo games to win groceries! One Monday per month, we host the SNAPO hunger awareness event in the Lodge and all students are invited to participate. The event is called SNAPO because it highlights the SNAP food program and SNAP E&T. Students stop at the registration table to pick up bingo cards, a cup of beans to mark their squares, and a free lunch ticket provided by our partnership with the Student Senate. Then, the fun begins! Students are able to win full bags of groceries and snacks or beverage items.

SNAPO Dates for Fall coming soon!

SNAP helps individuals and families buy food at local grocery stores and farmers markets. SNAP can bridge the financial gap to support individuals and families to have access to healthy nutritious food. Students who have a 0 EFC or are work-study eligible are eligible for SNAP benefits.
