Redwood Free Market

About

The Redwood Free Market, formerly known as the Slug Support Food Pantry supports the success of all students. We believe that access to food is a human right, and are dedicated to destigmatizing food insecurity. Through a holistic approach, we prioritize the needs of students above all else. We are a safe haven that promotes liberation and well-being for all students.
