Diaper Distributions
Currently enrolled MiraCosta students may receive 1 free pack of 25 diapers per child during diaper distributions. Sizes 0-6 are typically available however change depending on availability from our partner, the San Diego Food Bank.
Please reference our flyer for more information about the new diaper distributions. Distributions will take place at the Oceanside Main Campus (1 Barnard Drive, Oceanside, CA, 92056) and at the Community Learning Center (1831 Mission Ave, Oceanside, CA, 92058) during our CARE Free Food & Resource Market (food distributions) and every 4th Thursday of the month. In case that the diaper distributions don't fit your schedule, you can stop by the MiraCosta Child Development Center in the OC8000 building at the Oceanside Main Campus to pick up diapers (1 pack per week and no more than 4 packs per month) between 8a - 4p. Remember to purchase a day parking permit and park only in student parking lots (if you do not already have a semester parking permit).
For students wanting to pick-up at the San Elijo Campus or for questions, please email care@miracosta.edu.
On-campus diaper distributions will pause when the semester ends and will resume in the following semester. Upcoming diaper distribution dates will be updated the week before classes begin each semester.
