TRIO Summer Meal Program

In partnership with the California Department of Education (CDE) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Pasadena City College sponsors the USDA Summer Food Program supporting UB and UBMS’ summer educational and enrichment programs at the college’s Colorado Campus. 

 During our enrichment summer programs, UB and UBMS scholars enjoy healthy breakfast and lunch meals in college setting and among their peers. With access to healthy meals, our youth build their toolkit equipped to make healthy decisions resulting in positive academic, social, emotional, and physical well-being. We foster a safe and college-going learning community for scholars to engage in college and career readiness. UB and UBMS TRIO Pre-College programs are trusted among the communities we serve and fulfill a critical need when youth are not in school during their summer breaks.

Currently one in seven children in California experience food insecurity1. Especially during summer, our site-based meal programs serve a critical need in our communities. In addition to providing healthy meals, we mitigate learning loss through student-centric educational programs, keep youth active and provide academic advisement during the summer.
