Barstow Community College is committed to fighting hunger and food insecurity on campus. Special Programs and Services has opened up a Food Pantry for all students in order to address this need for our students. The Food Pantry provides students with a variety of fresh, frozen, and non-perishable food items on a daily basis. In addition, the Food Pantry provides fresh fruits and vegetables at our weekly Produce Market.
