Jet Fuel Food Pantry

The Jet Fuel Food Pantry is the flagship program of the Basic Needs Center. The pantry offers a wide variety of fresh foods, shelf stable items, snacks, and frozen goods to help food-insecure students maintain access to food and nutrition resources.

All students can access the pantry so long as they meet the following criteria:

• Be a current SDCCD student (have a valid student ID)
• Be enrolled in at least one (1) class at Miramar College (excludes CCE-Miramar) during the current semester
• Have submitted a pantry use form for the semester they intend to use the pantry
