In this Section

The Ruby McSwain Cougar Market, CCCC's free food pantry, aspires to support student success by ensuring that no student goes hungry because of a lack of income or access to food. 

The Cougar Market is stocked with non-perishable snacks and meal items to temporarily alleviate immediate food insecurity for students and their families. In cases of persistent lack of access to food, the Cougar Market works with students to connect them to appropriate community resources.
