About the Grocery Shuttle:

The Grocery Shuttle service was a result of two students' advocacy, Josh & Apollo, through their experience of being houseless students while at UCSD! Josh created the affordable grocery map on an excel sheet that showcased the cost of local culturally reflective grocery stores from UCSD based on afforability during Summer 2018! They yelped reviewed the locations, identified time frames to get to the grocery store, and more!

We thank Josh & Apollo for their leadership because their advocacy led to the creation of what we know the grocery shuttle to be today!

This program is a partnership between Basic Needs, Associated Students (A.S.) and Transportation to improve accessibility of food security resources in the San Diego area!

The grocery shuttle takes students to local grocery stores & shopping centers to serve as a resource to access culturally reflective nourishing food!
