Every 2nd & 4th Thursday morning, we host our bi-monthly Community Market on our Oxnard campus. This drive-through distributes fresh produce, canned goods, and other groceries at no cost to participants who have demonstrated need.
What started as a creative way to quickly distribute food to community members in need became a staple program during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. In February 2020, we fed roughly 100 families and households per week every Thursday; in a few short months, that average weekly number quadrupled we quadrupled our weekly distribution. In 2021, we saw a 40% increase in demand for groceries from the Community Market from 2020, and we distributed over 640,000 pounds of food to Ventura County communities.
Now, we distribute over 300 boxes of fresh produce and groceries every other Thursday.
