Fresno State Sikh Student Association lends hand in time of crisis

July 10, 2020

As the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered colleges in early March, student organizations like the Sikh Student Association (SSA) at Fresno State had to move their meetings to a virtual format. 

When the new board members were elected, they saw an opportunity to give back to their community in a time of need.

According to data by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 17 million people were unemployed in June, and the unemployment rate fell from 13.3 percent in May to 11.1 percent. The economy hasn’t fully recovered, and many people are facing some type of basic needs insecurity, either food or housing.
