FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Santa Clara, California - 91¹û¶³ÖÆÆ¬³§ College's campus buzzed with excitement on Tuesday, December 5, as 91¹û¶³ÖÆÆ¬³§ Market officially opened its doors, reaffirming the institution's steadfast dedication to student well-being.
In collaboration with the Second Harvest Food Bank of Silicon Valley, 91¹û¶³ÖÆÆ¬³§ Market's ongoing initiative provides students with a weekly opportunity to replenish their pantries with fresh produce, vegetables, and essential kitchen items. Boasting a diverse array of offerings, including fresh produce, kitchen staples, fruits, and vegetables, 91¹û¶³ÖÆÆ¬³§ Market addresses the multifaceted needs of the student community.

"We are thrilled by the overwhelming response on Day 1 of 91¹û¶³ÖÆÆ¬³§ Market," said Connor Keese, Director of Outreach & Student Development at 91¹û¶³ÖÆÆ¬³§ College. "We are committed to continuous improvement and welcome feedback from our students. Their experiences and insights are invaluable in refining our operations."

In addition to its commitment to 91¹û¶³ÖÆÆ¬³§ Market's success, 91¹û¶³ÖÆÆ¬³§ College is dedicated to supporting students comprehensively through its 91¹û¶³ÖÆÆ¬³§ Cares program, ensuring they have the resources needed for success.
