Eat well, save money.
Led by Dining Services and in conjunction with many other departments across campus, JCCC Cavalier MealSHARE program provides free meals to students on campus.
How does Cavalier MealSHARE work?
MealSHARE loads Dining Dollars on every selected student’s College ID for use in all Dining Services locations. Cavaliers can get the food they need easily and anonymously.
If you are enrolled in nine or more credit hours primarily on campus, you can apply for Cavalier MealSHARE assistance through Financial Aid. Once you qualify, you are given a daily allotment of Dining Dollars on your student ID. You don't have to be receiving financial aid to qualify.
Where can I use my Dining Dollars?
You can use the Dining Dollars at any on-campus food venue—the Food Court, any of the JCCC coffee bars and on-campus vending machines. The daily dollars are not carried over from day to day. You are responsible for the transaction amount over the Dining Dollars allocated.
Know a student who could benefit?
We accept applications prior to each fall semester and continue to accept until all available funds have been allocated. Participating students should reapply at the end of each summer term to be considered for the new school year.
Want to support the program?
Thank you for helping your fellow Cavalier! You can donate to the MealSHARE program through the JCCC Foundation.
Dining Dollars make dining on campus simple and convenient. Put money on your JCCC ID card and swipe it at vending machines, the Food Court, Encore Espresso and Stacks Café.
How Dining Dollars work
- Load money onto your JCCC ID card at any Dining Services register or load money online.
