Cuyahoga Community College Opens Food Pantry for Student Needs

Cuyahoga Community College has opened a food pantry for students needing basic items, Cleveland.com reported.

The pantry is located in the south concourse adjacent to the Metro Campus Center. It will give eligible students up to 15 pounds of food, toiletries and necessities each week.

The pantry is funded by $1,020,000 from Char and Chuck Fowler of the Char and Chuck Fowler Family Foundation.

The money will allow the Greater Cleveland Food Bank to stock the pantry and creates the Fowler Family Student Success and Resource Fund, which will fund the pantry and help with short-term financial expenses, such as housing costs and child care.

Financial donations are accepted.
