On Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2019, Lone Star College-North Harris announced the opening of its food pantry. The space is called the “CAT-5 Cupboard,” and is designed to improve student success by combating food insecurity. 

For Spring 2022, the Cat-5 Cupboard will offer pre-packed bags of non-perishable groceries for students to grab and go! See hours and information below, as well as an image of items included in the bags.

Spring 2022 hours:

Tuesdays 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Wednesdays 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
LOCATION: LSC-North Harris Academic Building, Room 108
INFORMATION: To learn more, email NH-Cat5Cupboard@lonestar.edu.

Outside of these hours, please visit the Communities in Schools (CIS) offices in ACAD 200A or the Women's Resource Center in SSB 204. In coordination with the Cat-5 Cupboard, these locations will have pre-packed grocery bags for students to grab and go, as well as snacks!

The Women's Resource Center, in conjunction with the Houston Food Bank, will hold pantry drive-thru days on a monthly basis.  For more information, contact Brittney Lewis (Brittney.Lewis@lonestar.edu AND http://www.lonestar.edu/wrc.htm)
