Tuesday & Thursday, 11:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Wednesday, 4 - 6 p.m.
The SPSCC Food Pantry offers free, fresh, and non-perishable food items, hygiene kits, and children's books to SPSCC students. Other Thurston County Food Bank locations are also available on other days and times.
Students, faculty, staff, and any members of our community. No one will be turned away who is in need of food.
Different types of visits can be made to the food pantry:
Yes, the food pantry offers hygiene products, children’s books, toiletries, and warm clothing items.
The hygiene products we offer include shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouthwash, dental floss, brushes/combs, deodorant, toilet paper, diapers (sizes and availability may vary), umbrellas, and can openers.
We also offer grab-and-go, pre-packed meal kits available upon request.
At check-in, we do require a name to be submitted on the form for data purposes only. If a person prefers more anonymity, an alternate name can be used. However, that name must be used consistently at each visit. We need a name so we can make sure that we are equally giving everyone an opportunity to use the food pantry.
If you are an SPSCC student, we will ask to see your Student ID as it helps us know how many students we are serving.
The food pantry is a partnership between SPSCC Student Leadership, the SPSCC Foundation, and Thurston County Food Bank. Hygiene kits will be provided in partnership with the YWCA Other Bank, and free children's books are provided in partnership with the South Sound Reading Foundation.
SPSCC is currently a distribution site, and donations can be made at the Thurston County Food Bank or on campus in the Thurston County Food Bank blue bins available in Bldgs. 34 and 35. There are other drop-off locations in the Thurston County area.
Donations can be made online via the SPSCC Foundation. The Foundation can direct actual donations to the program account.
