LIVE FREE × DoorDash Partner to Expand SNAP Relief Access | Helping Families Get Groceries Delivered Fee-Free This Month

# data[].attributes.body
LIVEFREE USA is partnering with DoorDash as part of its Emergency Food Response and #ProjectDASHinitiatives — a nationwide effort to fight hunger and expand access to food for families who depend on SNAP/EBT benefits and local food banks.

As millions of families face uncertainty due to the federal SNAP funding crisis, DoorDash and LIVEFREE USA are stepping up to ensure communities still have reliable access to food — delivered straight to their doors with $0 delivery and $0 service fees.

This partnership reflects our shared belief that food access is a matter of justice, not privilege. Together, we’re helping families reclaim time, dignity, and stability while relieving some of the financial and logistical barriers to getting groceries and meals.

How It Works for Families, Community Members and Churches

1. For SNAP Recipients Ordering Groceries:

Anyone with a SNAP/EBT card can link it in the DoorDash app or at DoorDash.com.

Order from participating SNAP-enabled stores — Sprouts, Dollar General, Food Lion, Giant, Hy-Vee, Stop & Shop, Wegmans, and more.

Offer runs through November 30, 2025, while supplies last.

SNAP/EBT card must be linked to the DoorDash account at checkout.

Use Code: SNAPDD

Order Now: bit.ly/SNAPDD

ORDER NOW

2. For Households Receiving Food Assistance from Food Banks or Pantries:

DoorDash will also deliver 1 million meals for free through more than 300+ Project DASH food bank and pantry partners nationwide.

This includes families who receive food through Project DASH or local community pantry partners — one free home delivery is available through the end of November, while supplies last.

3. How Churches & Community Organizations Can Help. We need your voices now.

There are just two Sundays left to help every eligible household hear about this relief.

Please share the post and graphics in your:

Sunday announcements & bulletins

Email newsletters and group texts

Social media feeds and stories

I’m reaching out to ask if you could help connect us with any EOP scholars who also transferred to Cal, as we would love to feature them in our Transfer Student Spotlight.

Attached is a flyer with more details if you wouldn’t mind sharing it with your network, or including it in one of the newsletters. We would greatly appreciate your support in helping us highlight the diverse experiences of our transfer community, especially first generation students.

I think this is a great opportunity for students to get their name out there, and have a chance for incoming transfers to identify other members before heading onto campus. I also wanted to include a link to our instagram so you could see how we typically highlight our transfers.

Berkeley Haas PSC “Defining Ghetto Podcast"

# data[].attributes.body
This semester I've been working with the Haas Public Service Leaders to develop a new podcast to highlight underrepresented stories on getting accepted into and navigating UC Berkeley.

The podcast will be filmed and audio recorded. The name is called "Defining Ghetto", because we're highlighting stories that defy stereotypes or have been unfairly labeled as "ghetto" and were essentially changing that narrative.

We’re partnering with Stiles Hall and Ethnic Studies Department. We'd love to share your students' stories. I've attached a flyer at the bottom of this email with a QR for sign ups. If you're interested, can you put the flyer in the EOP newsletter or personally recommend students to my team and I to interview? I'm also open to a zoom meeting to give more information and just to give updates on my life. Thank you for your time and consideration. Espero que tengas un buen dia!

Are you ready to prepare for the MCAT? Wondering where you can get practice questions for the MCAT? Well, you've come to the right place! Our Free MCAT Practice Question Pop Quiz is a short MCAT practice test designed to test your skills and give you an idea of what to expect on the exam.

How Does Inspira's MCAT Practice Quiz Work?

All you need to do to get started is submit your email address, and you have access to five free MCAT practice questions and answers. After you answer each question, you'll receive an answer explanation that outlines why you got the example test question right or wrong.

How to Use MCAT Example Questions Effectively

The most effective way to use MCAT questions as a practice and study tool includes answering questions regularly to assess your progress as you gain knowledge and refine your skills.

Reviewing your MCAT answers (whether correct or incorrect) helps reinforce information and ensures you're ready to tackle similar questions the next time you encounter one.

Why Do MCAT Practice Questions Matter?

Completing MCAT practice questions is a crucial step in your prep plan. Practicing with real MCAT questions helps you gain familiarity with test content while gauging your proficiency with MCAT content.

Types of MCAT Sample Questions

All MCAT questions are multiple-choice and revolve around subject areas related to the four MCAT sections:

Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems

Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems

Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior

Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills

MCAT sample questions can be passage-based or "discrete:" discrete questions stand alone and don't require additional information besides the question to answer.

MCAT Sample Questions and Answers

Here are some MCAT sample questions and answers you can look at to prepare you for the exam.

Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems
1. In which of the following cases will the normal force on a box be the greatest?
A) When the box is placed in a stationary elevator

B) When the box is placed in an elevator moving upwards at constant velocity

C) When the box is placed in an elevator accelerating downward

D) When the box is placed in an elevator accelerating upward
2. Choose the option that best describes what the basal layer of the epidermis and the innermost lining of the small intestine have in common.
A) The two are non-dividing tissues.

B) They are both derived from ectoderm.

C) The two are made up of squamous cells.

D) The cells of each option are connected by tight junctions.

Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems
1. Which is not a characteristic of proteins?
A) Can self-replicate

B) Can act as a hormone

C) Acts in cell membrane trafficking

D) Can bind foreign materials

Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior

Passage

The illness experience shapes the way that people use health information. For patients with a rare health disorder, which is defined as a medical condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals living in the United States, online sources of information tend to be particularly important.

An example of a rare disorder is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as "Lou Gehrig's disease." ALS results from the progressive loss of motor nerves and affects about 1 out of 100,000 people. About 10% of people with ALS have a familial form of the condition, which is caused by an inherited genetic mutation. Aside from the familial form, the cause of ALS is largely unknown, though it is believed that the disorder results from both genetic and environmental factors.

Having a rare medical condition, such as ALS, can make it difficult to meet and interact with others who have the same rare disorder. Despite great distances, online communication provides a form of social interaction for those facing an uncommon health problem. Virtual peer networks provide vital social support for those who are affected by a rare disorder.

Research has found that women with rare disorders are more likely to access online support networks than men with rare disorders. Relationships formed through online support networks often become a meaningful part of a person's identity. Individuals with rare disorders report that relating to others who have the same condition is often easier than trying to relate to friends or family members who do not share their condition.
1. Which statement best represents a threat to social identity? A young woman with a rare disorder:
A) believes that others treat her as less capable, and then she starts to see herself as deficient.

B) becomes discouraged when she hears that others with rare disorders are treated as less capable.

C) hides her disorder from others in order to project more confidence in social situations.

D) reveals her disorder to friends, who mistakenly assume that it is a social limitation.
2. Over the course of ten years, a rare disorder increases in prevalence such that it eventually affects more than 200,000 people in the United States. Based on the passage and this scenario, which prediction is most consistent with the sociological paradigm of symbolic interactionism?
A) As the number of affected individuals increases, government research funding increases.

B) Affected individuals are less likely to conceal their condition as it becomes less stigmatized.

C) As more people with the condition are treated, it receives less attention as a health concern.

D) Insurance coverage for the condition becomes more likely as more people require treatment.
3. Which research project best represents a macrosociological approach to studying the social support networks mentioned in the passage?
A) A researcher follows the conversation of participants who post messages in an online support forum.

B) A researcher interviews patients who participate in a local hospital's support group for rare disorders.

C) A researcher surveys patients for reasons that they joined an online support group for their disorder.

D) A researcher tracks how the number of websites dedicated to rare disorders has changed over time.

Tracking Progress and Identifying Weaknesses

Unsure where to start with your MCAT prep? Our quiz can help identify weaknesses in just one session-you can see which types of MCAT practice questions or sections you may be struggling with most. Our MCAT Pop Quiz is an excellent tool to track your progress.

Try revisiting it a few times through your prep journey to gradually see your improvements and progress!

FAQs

We're here to answer your questions about the MCAT and our MCAT Practice Questions Pop Quiz!

1. How Should I Incorporate Practice Questions into My Study Routine Effectively?

You can incorporate practice MCAT questions into your study schedule to achieve multiple goals. Working through practice questions early can help you identify your weaknesses and pinpoint your strengths, leading to a tailored and more effective study schedule.

Consider taking regular practice MCAT tests and quizzes to elevate your study routine and improve your score!

2. What Are the Benefits of Using Practice Questions in My Study Plan?

Introducing MCAT practice questions into your study plan can help you assess your progress as you continually work toward your target MCAT score. Answering questions correctly signifies your proficiency, while incorrect answers can signal areas you can improve.

Inspira Advantage's MCAT Practice Quiz tool also explains why your answer is incorrect!

3. Do Questions Reflect the Actual Exam Content and Difficulty Level?

Yes, these MCAT practice questions are similar in content and caliber to those you would see on the actual test. While these questions aren't timed like the real MCAT, you can time yourself to check that you're on track.

4. How Many Questions Should I Aim to Complete Before the Exam?

There is no magic number of MCAT questions you should complete before test day, but test-takers will generally complete three to six tests for a total of 690 to 1,380 MCAT questions, not including practice quizzes and assessments. Many test-takers complete multiple full-length MCAT practice tests before the exam.

5. Are MCAT Questions Hard?

Yes! Like other standardized tests, the MCAT is designed to make sure you understand the foundational knowledge needed for medical school. But, MCAT questions are especially tough to answer as you're expected to apply learned information to situational questions.

The best way to prepare for these difficult questions is to answer as many MCAT example questions as possible. Tackling the online MCAT questions in our MCAT Practice Quiz will help you prepare for the exam by highlighting the areas you need to focus on.

If you want personalized guidance and support tailored to your specific weaknesses, consider working with one of our expert MCAT tutors.
