FREE FOOD

We call our Basic Needs Center and Food Pantry the Viking Vault. Our Viking Vault is located at the Liberal Arts Campus (LAC) in E-131, and Pacific Coast Campus (PCC) in GG-Cafeteria. You are able to visit our Viking Vault and get FREE groceries, snacks, and hygiene items to help nourish a healthy body and mind. You can also find Mini Viking Vaults across campus in the Student Health Services office, and other academic offices. You can access our resources if you are enrolled in LBCC classes. Students can visit the Viking Vault once a day, where they will be provided with one bag to fill up. Please see the community guidelines below for more details.

Accessing Free Food for LBCC Students

There are 2 ways you can pick up your free food from the Basic Needs Department. You can either come in-person to our Viking Vault at LAC/PCC to shop for your own groceries, or you can attend one of our monthly free food events on-campus.

CalFresh

CalFresh is a state program that awards students up to $150 every month to purchase groceries. We want to make sure you not only have food temporarily, but that you can receive the food benefits on a monthly basis from CalFresh. We have a team of representatives that work specially with our LBCC students to make sure you are eligible and to help walk you through the entire application process. You can contact them anytime and say you are enrolled as a LBCC student and want to apply for CalFresh benefits.
