The Renegade Pantry at Bakersfield College offers full meals, snacks, household and hygiene items, and even clothing, to all students on campus. One of those students, Carlos Ramirez, who has experienced food insecurity firsthand and now works as the coordinator for the Renegade Pantry, says students need the pantry now more than ever, as some of them have lost their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits due to a change in how the government determines eligibility. 23ABC's Dominique LaVigne spoke with Ramirez to find out more about food-insecure students.
