Current enrolled MJC students may be eligible to receive free food! We provide access to essential resources— so, students can focus on thriving academically and personally. All students must complete the Basic Needs Application before participating in our program. For more information complete the Basic Needs Inquiry Form and check your student email for more information on workshops.
If you’re a student seeking assistance outside of our Pantry hours, please reach out to a staff member for additional support.
Hours are subject to change due to staff availability.
Receive groceries twice a month! Grocery distribution is available in person at the MSR Building on West Campus and the Student Center on East Campus. West Campus offers a variety of items, including canned goods, meat, and produce. Due to limited refrigeration capacity, East Campus provides nonperishable items only.
