Food Resources

Student Pantry
On-Campus

Currently enrolled students at Lemoore College can visit the Student Pantry once per day during the normal hours of operation.  

Students will need their Lemoore College student ID number to access the student food pantry if they are planning to take items. A staff member will assist you at the check-in kiosk before you start shopping.   

  • Students can take up to TEN (10) food items during their visit, and any extras we have listed.  
  • Students can take up to TWO (2) “Grab-N-Go” items during their visit. These items will count as part of their daily TEN (10) item limit.  
  • Posted item limits are subject to change. To ensure all students have access to a variety of resources, we kindly ask visitors to avoid selecting identical or duplicate items. This helps ensure fairness and availability for all who visit the pantry.
