Bruin Pantry Network

Students should not have to choose between basic needs and pursuing their academic goals. The Bruin Pantry is a welcoming, supportive space that provides supplemental food assistance to all currently enrolled SLCC students, as well as faculty, and staff. With aave access to nutritious, culturally relevant food options, the Bruin Pantry helps our campus community focus on their academic, professional, and personal goals.
