For college students
Home Away From Home will host a potluck and “free stuff” distribution for local college students Sunday at 5 p.m. at the D Street Neighborhood Center, 1301 D St. in Arcata.
Home Away from Home builds a bridge between local college students and the broader community. Since 2018, volunteers have supported students by hosting potlucks and free meal and household supply distributions, serving over 1,000 local college students.
All local college students are invited to enjoy a free meal with the community and pick up a free bag of household supplies, while supplies last. Food will be provided by community members and Rita’s Mexican Grill. Vegetarian, vegan, special diet and meat meal options will be available. Proof of college enrollment, such as a student ID or an active student email, is required.
Community members who wish to attend the potluck are asked to bring a home-cooked dish large enough to serve 10 people with a serving utensil or a hot pad, if needed. College students are asked to only bring their appetites, but are welcome to bring a dish to share if they feel inclined. Those who wish to bring a dish or volunteer at the event should sign up in advance at https://tinyurl.com/HAFHSeptemberPotluck.
Community members who wish to make a monetary donation to support potluck efforts may drop them off at the City Manager’s Office inside Arcata City Hall, 736 F St., Arcata, during open hours. Checks can be made out to “City of Arcata” with “Equity Arcata” in the memo line. Monetary donations will be accepted by mail to: Equity Arcata, c/o City of Arcata, 736 F St., Arcata, CA, 95521. For more information on making a donation, call 707-822-5953 or email equityarcata@gmail.com.
