SJC Food for Thought is establishing a campus food pantry in the Center for Wellness to support currently enrolled SJC students (and when resources allow, staff and faculty) who face hunger by providing immediate non-perishable food choices. SJC Food for Thought is a campus-wide initiative designed to identify students who are at risk of food insecurity, to assist in identifying sources of food assistance, to provide food assistance, and to create safe-spaces for personal and confidential conversations about needs.

Students are increasingly likely to need a variety of support measures beyond traditional grants, scholarships, and financial aid packages to complete their studies. Identifying and providing such assistance represents an investment by the college community in its student body and supports the college mission, Esse Non Videri.
