Cuyamaca Cares Pantry
Cuyamaca Cares pantry will be open for the fall 2024 semester! Students can now visit the Cuyamaca Cares office and get free groceries. We will be distributing food on the following days:
Wednesdays from 10:00am to 3:00pm
Thursdays from 12:00pm to 5:00pm
Fridays from 10:00am to 1:00pm
Appointments are no longer necessary! We are now taking drop-ins only, please feel free to come on in! We are requiring students to park in the campus parking lots and walk to our office to prevent a traffic build-up in front of our office, if you park in front of our office you will be asked to move your car before receiving groceries. If you have a mobility disability, please park in the Child Development Center parking lot where there is a paved path to our front door.
Cuyamaca Cares is now located near the Child Development Center. You can find us on the campus map.
Cuyamaca Cares is proud to introduce Satellite Pantries! These small pantries are set up across the campus to ensure that free food is never far away. To find a satellite pantry near you on campus, please click the button:
