Mission

The Reedley College Tiger Food Pantry aims to support and empower students who are experiencing food insecurity or having challenges to accessing food. Our mission is to ensure students can focus on their academic and personal development while addressing hunger and unmet basic needs.

All enrolled students are welcome to access the Tiger Food Pantry! There are no eligibility criteria at the Tiger Food Pantry as we believe all students deserve access to fresh, nutritious foods, diapers, and hygiene products.

Values

Empowerment

The Tiger Pantry is committed to disrupting the stigma around hunger. We will continuously work to empower students to actively use resources that support their success, retention, and well-being.

Inclusivity

We recognize the importance of students being able to see themselves, their heritage, and their culture reflected in the foods provided by the Tiger Pantry. We will remain aware of our campus's diversity and will continuously make efforts to reflect it on our shelves.

Growth

Every day is an opportunity to learn something new. The Tiger Pantry is committed to centering the needs of students and actively ensuring that the food pantry is continuously using student-driven data and feedback to make changes.

Agency

Supporting students in having the autonomy to make decisions about the foods that best meet their dietary preferences and needs. 

Dignity

The Tiger Pantry is committed to providing Reedley College students with a shopping experience grounded in dignity and respect. Our staff provides students with a safe and welcoming environment.
