Marcia’s Story
As a mother of three, Marcia was determined to earn her college degreewhile creating a more secure future for her children. But balancing school, family, and the cost of everyday essentials—including food—wasn’t easy.
Through SparkPoint at Cañada College, Marcia found help putting food on the table, including groceries and access to a campus food pantry. Knowing her family had food helped ease a daily worry so she could focus on her studies. With rental assistance and financial coaching, she gained more stability as she worked toward her goals. Marcia graduated magna cum laude with an associate degree in Digital Art and Animation and a web design certificate, opening new possibilities for her family’s future.
