Meal Voucher Program

Note: the Meal Voucher Program is temporarily suspended for the summer. Please visit the Food Bank and/or Basic Needs Advising Center (across the campus bookstore) to learn more about auxiliary food support services you may be eligible for.

The Meal Voucher Program converts donated meal swipes into meal vouchers, to provide eligible students with up to 3 free meal vouchers per quarter. Vouchers may be redeemed for a meal at any of the three dine-in dining commons at UCSB (Carrillo Dining Commons, De La Guerra Dining Commons, and Portola Dining Commons).

If you are interested in learning more about our Meal Voucher Program, please visit our pantry and speak to a member of our team. There, you will be having short conversation with them to determine eligibility.

This program was made possible through the support and student leaders of UCSB’s Associated Students Senate; Young Democratic Socialists of America; Housing, Dining & Auxiliary Enterprises; A.S. Food Bank; and the generosity of student meal swipe donors. To learn more about how you can donate your meal swipes to help a fellow student in need, visit https://dining.ucsb.edu/meal-swipe-donations.
