****Please arrive 10 minutes before the start of the shift time you choose.**** Just In Time (JIT) Mobile Food Pantry is a grocery-style food distribution program for eligible students whom are experiencing food insecurity. The program offers a wide selection of foods including fresh produce, dairy items and more. In 2016 members of the Student Hunger Committee & SJSU Cares partnered with Second Harvest Food Bank of San Mateo & Santa Clara counties to provide access to larger quantities of food to support students experiencing food insecurity. The first JIT program was offered in October of 2016 with over 320 participants. In the 2016-2017 academic year we hosted eight JIT events; in 2017-2018 we held nine events. In the second year of the program over 156,000 pounds of food were provided for students, valued at over $270,000. Over 4,500 students participated. Volunteer Power! Over 450 students, staff, faculty, and community members volunteered over 1,800 hours for the JIT program in 2017-2018."
