We partner with community organizations to make sure students have reliable access to nutritious food. All items are available while supplies last, and our dates and times may shift each semester, so be sure to check back regularly for updates.
Whether you’re stocking up for the month or just grabbing a few essentials, THRIVE Mart is here to support your well‑being and help you thrive.

THRIVE Mart is Victor Valley College’s on‑campus food distribution event, offering free groceries and produce to support students’ basic needs. This year, we’ve updated how it works to make the process easier and more consistent for everyone.
The Basic Needs THRIVE Resource Center is pleased to share an update to your weekly on‑campus food support. Moving forward, all THRIVE Mart items will be included in a single, convenient weekly food bundle. This food support will be available for one-time participation per day on a first‑come, first‑served basis.
