To make donating convenient, please visit the online registries at Amazon and Target. Items purchased from these lists will be sent directly to the CougarMart. Additionally, we welcome direct donations which may be dropped-off to the Cougar Mart (Student Center-106C) or the Student Leadership and Engagement office (Student Center-101). If you prefer to make a monetary donation, you can do so by designating your support for the Student Hunger at FCC Fund.

Your contributions can make a significant difference in the lives of FCC students.

GRAB AND GO HUB

Location: Student Center-106C
Hours:  Monday - Friday 8:30 am – 4:30 pm

The food pantry, housed inside the CougarMart, provides grab and go food times intended to help carry students over between classes. Students are invited to visit the food pantry and take up to two items per day. Free, fresh popped popcorn is also available daily in the Student Leadership & Engagement office (Student Center-101).  Also, free popcorn available Fri 8:30 am – 4:30 pm.

COUGAR PODS (Food Lockers)

Location: Outside Student Center-100

Cougar Pods provide food options for students who are on campus in the evenings when offices are closed and may need a bit more than a quick grab and go snack. Food items may change from week to week but primarily consist of soup, cereal, rice, pasta, and other non-perishable items including some organic and ethnic options. Hygiene items are also available on a limited basis.

Students who are interested in visiting the Cougar Pods will complete the Cougar Pods Request Form. The form requires an FCC ID number and basic demographic information – no financial questions are asked.

Students who have registered will receive an email or text with instructions on how to access the pods. Instructions will include a window of time in which the food will be available, a pod number, and a unique code allowing access to the pod which will contain a grocery bag of food. Students are welcome to take what they want and can leave items they don’t need.
