Food Pantry

Food on the shelves

The Cal State East Bay campus community has access to free groceries through our campus food pantries. We work with Alameda County Community Food Bank and Contra Costa Community Food Bank to stock our shelves.

The pantry is stocked with fresh fruits and vegetables, meat and proteins, soup, rice, beans, peanut butter, pasta, oatmeal and cereal, and healthy snacks.
