Food Pantry

We have everyday staples and fresh and frozen foods plus hygiene products.

Currently enrolled students will be required to check in with their MCID card each day they visit the Basic Needs Center Food Pantry.  Students are allowed 2 items each day.  If you need further assistance for food, please contact the Basic Needs Coordinator.

Note on Housing Assistance:  At this time Merced College Basic Needs does not provide financial assistance for housing assistance.  Please see the Main Campus page on housing assistance.
