Help Support the Roary's Market
Food insecurity among college students is a serious issue. A recent survey of De Anza students found nearly four out of ten experienced food insecurity. In
fall quarter of 2024, more than 1,900 students visited our old location, known as
the De Anza Food Pantry. Please consider supporting student achievement through access
to food. Visit the Foothill-De Anza Foundation's Quick Donate webpage and designate your gift for Roary's Market.
