Renegade Drive-Thru Pantry
In addition to sanitation protocols, the Office of Student Life continues to provide food, hygiene products, and clothes items through the “Renegade Drive-Thru Pantry.” Students can complete the online form, schedule a pickup date and time, and then stop by the Pantry at Student Life in Levinson Hall to receive your non-perishable food items, pre-bagged and ready for you, at your scheduled time. This includes limited supplies from the Renegade Cabinet (hygiene products) and Renegade Closet items. **When you arrive for your pickup time, you must enter the campus using the Haley & Panorama entrance only and verify your identity with Public Safety prior to entering.** Students will be given one bag of various food items at the pickup time. Items will vary and are non-negotiable. If you are allergic to something, or there is something you cannot eat, please note it on the form when you sign up.
For more information, please email thepantry@bakersfieldcollege.edu.
