Grocery Assistant Program (GAP)
SABVC's Grocery Assistance Program offers vital support to students facing food insecurity. We're dedicated to ensuring that no student ever feels alone or compromised in their well-being due to lack of access to nutritious food. Our program provides grocery vouchers and access to community resources to empower students to thrive.

Our Grocery Assistant Program (GAP) is here to help all our student members. Whether you're studying part-time or full-time, you can sign up for this program. We offer 50$ grocery vouchers on essential groceries items.

Application Process
Every term, our GAP application closes after the school term's end date and reopens only after the Add/Drop Enrollment Schedule provided by the college.
This process ensures that we align our program with the college's academic calendar, allowing students to apply for GAP at the most appropriate times.
Additionally, please note that students can only apply for GAP once per academic year, ensuring that every student has an opportunity to benefit from the program.
