"Tephiny Jones, a UC Berkeley student-parent, has seen several of her student-parent friends struggle with providing food for their children as their financial aid runs out towards the end of the semester," Daily Californian reports. "But a new service being launched Thursday at the UC Berkeley Transfer, Re-entry and Student Parent Center may be able to help low-income students with children during such emergency financial situations. The Bear Pantry, a food reserve founded by Koret Mulder, a 45-year-old UC Berkeley senior and mother of two, provides a collection of 30 food items in individual bins-each with enough food to feed a family of three for two weeks-to 50 financially-eligible student-parents once per semester. Resident associates at the University Village and individuals working at the Financial Aid Office and Emergency Loan Office will identify student-parents in need of emergency food."
