Foothill is fortunate to have opened a Food Pantry last fall thanks to partners Second Harvest Food Bank and the Community Services Agency. The Food Pantry provides groceries to any Foothill student enrolled in credit or non-credit classes who meets the self-reported income eligibility set by Second Harvest. But for students who don’t have a home where they can bring groceries and make meals, the Food Pantry is not a viable option. - See more at: https://foundation.fhda.edu/stories/FH_food_pantry.html#.WTH2qcm1t
The Gavilan College food pantry is a collaboration between Gavilan College CalWORKs, Fresh Success, Association Students of Gavilan College (ASGC), Second Harvest Food Bank and St. Joseph’s Family Center. The pantry is open all year long and serves the entire Gavilan College Community.
The Student Health Center at Foothill College is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. (closed for lunch 1-2 p.m.) You can also schedule a telemedicine evaluation.
Free and Low-Cost Medical Services

When a Covid-19 Test Result is Positive
If a student has been diagnosed with COVID-19, any student or college employee may report it by completing the Reporting a Positive COVID Case on Campus Form. The Foothill College Contact Tracing team will follow up with the student and report the positive case to Santa Clara County as required.
If an Employee is Exposted to Covid-19
Please see district guidelines and protocols for employee exposures and positive cases.
