Panther Food Pantry
*The Panther Pantry is currently closed and will reopen on Monday, January 6, at 11 a.m.*
Welcome to the Panther Pantry!
Nearly half of our students struggle with food insecurity.
We know that reducing food insecurity creates a direct link to success.
The Panther Pantry is an on campus resource helping our students tackle their food insecurity and gain confidence in the classroom.
*Donation bins are located throughout campus and items may always be brought to the Pantry when it is open. Contributions are greatly appreciated
I am very grateful that this is offered. It is a hard balance cutting back on work to go to school and further one's education. The food pantry definitely takes off some of the stress and it means a lot that as students we (and our families) are cared for on this level. -Tompkins Cortland Community College Student
