Does food insecurity exist at CC? The answer here, like the majority of college campuses, is yes. And studies have shown that food pantries on college campuses are one of the best ways to fight food insecurity. Today, we invite members of the CC community to join us in reducing food insecurity for CC students, and in keeping this resource accessible to all with no barriers to entry.
Please support the Office of Campus Activities by donating to our Food Pantry Initiative Fund. Your generosity helps keep the CC Pantry sustainable for students who might otherwise resort to skipping meals.
Thank you!
