Neighborhood Market
Neighborhood Market-Flexible Pickup Options
Porterville College is committed to ensuring that students, families, and community members have access to food and essential resources. Our Neighborhood Market drive-through food distribution will continue as scheduled on Monday, October 26, 2026, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Jamison Stadium Parking Lot. We understand that everyone's circumstances are different, and we want to make it easier for our community to access food assistance.
Can't attend? We have options!
- Have someone pick up for you: A family member, friend, or trusted individual may pick up food on your behalf. The person picking up food will need to complete all required sections of the Central California Food Bank intake form on your behalf.
- Next-day pickup: If you cannot attend Monday's distribution, food will also be available outside the Porterville College Basic Needs Center on Tuesday, October 27, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., while supplies last.
Our Neighborhood Market is open to students, families, and the broader community. Everyone is welcome!
