Our Meal Exchange program allows students unable to dine in the Dining Commons the option to dine at Jazzmans Brew & Bakery. Students may opt to use one meal swipe per period, with a maximum of two meal swipes per day at Jazzmans Brew & Bakery. Meal periods are as follows:
Breakfast 8:00 am - 9:45 am
Lunch 11:00 am - 4:00 pm

All students are required to have a meal plan. First year students are required to use the Unlimited Plan and students residing in an apartment are required to use the Patriot Plan. Meal plans may be purchased through Yung Park at (610) 917-1457, before the second week of the semester.
Community Dollars are the ultimate compliment to your college dining experience. Community Dollars are included with your meal plan and expire at the end of each semester. These funds may be used in The Dining Commons, at Jazzman’s Brew & Bakery, or as at our participating off campus locations:
We encourage students to speak with us about their needs. Reach out to the General Manager Ralph Chieffo, the Executive Chef James Lambert or the Dietitian Sue Hurd. If we cannot assist you we may refer you to the Office of Disability Services. Disability services can be reached at disabilityservices@valleyforge.edu for accomodation needs.
We encourage you to bring a guest to The Dining Commons or Jazzman’s Brew & Bakery! If you would like to pay for your guest, we accept cash, credit cards, and Patriot or Community Dollars. Students on the 140 or 190 meal plan can use an additional meal swipe for guests. Students on the Unlimited Plan may not bring guests into the Dining Commons unless paying with cash, credit, Patriot or Community Dollars
