If you're a Cal State LA student who was unable to schedule a Food Pantry appointment, Eddie Eats has you covered!

When pantry slots are full, eligible students can get $50 ( up to $200 per semester) deposited to their One Card to purchase meals on campus the week that they submit an application. 

For example, if you tried booking a Food Pantry slot on Monday at 10 a.m.  and found it full, you may be eligible for Eddie Eats that week. The program is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. If you miss your pantry appointment and do not cancel, you won't be granted Eddie Eats funds.

This program will conclude on May 9th at 11am for the 2023-24 academic year.  

Students must meet specific requirements:

  • Be currently enrolled (both undergraduate and graduate)
  • Must have a Golden Eagle One Card  
  • Must not have an on-campus meal plan that gives you access to unlimited meals. 
  • Must not have made an appointment or accessed the pantry the week they are applying.
