Cougar Cabinet Food Pantry
LCCC is recognized as a Pennsylvania Hunger-Free Campus by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. We provide an on-campus food pantry program, the “Cougar Cabinet,” to our students, staff, and faculty who are experiencing food insecurity or may need supplemental food options or personal care items.
Through funding from the LCCC Foundation and the United Way and in partnership with the Second Harvest Food Bank, you can receive food items once a week to supplement your food supply. All visits are free and confidential. You do not need to provide any documentation of need, but will need to have an LCCC ID card and complete a declaration form, which is available at the pantry.
Locations:
- Main campus (Schnecksville) – Berrier Hall
- Donley Center (Allentown) – lower level Student Lounge
To see when the pantries are open each week at Schnecksville or Allentown, contact Elizabeth Rivera at erivera1@tavacquaviva.net.
- Cougar Cabinet at LCCC Tamaqua – room 203, Morgan Center
To see when the pantry is open each week at Tamaqua, email morgan@tavacquaviva.net or call 570-668-6880.
All members of the LCCC community are welcome to visit the cabinet once a week. Hours are subject to change each semester due to staff availability.
