SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Santa Barbara City College has a food pantry that has found a new way to help during the COVID19 pandemic.

The pantry teamed up with Santa Barbara County Foodbank to host a Food Pantry Drive-Thru on Wednesday afternoon.

Students could drive into the West Campus parking lot and get a box of healthy Foodbank offerings.

Organizers said the healthy food is good for student's immune systems especially during stress.

If students missed out on it this week, they will have another drive-thru pantry next Wednesday afternoon.
