Hawk's Nest: Basic Needs Center

Mission: 

The Hawk's Nest Food Pantry supports all credit and noncredit SCC students' academic potential, creativity, as well as their personal and professional growth by providing basic needs support services for students.  ​

How Does it Work? 

Our Hawk’s Market, formerly hawks nest food pantry, provides perishable and non-perishable groceries. We provide fresh produce when available. To participate, all you need to do is come to A-107, give us your student ID number, and you can shop for free groceries.  

In addition to groceries, we provide hygiene products, assist with CalFresh applications, and support students experiencing housing insecurity during our office hours.  

We just launched our Hawk’s Closet, a career closet where we give free donated professional clothing. All you need to do is schedule an appointment to shop.  

How Often Can I Visit? 

In order to serve as many students as possible, students may only pick up groceries once a week. 

What If I'm Not Available?
