Campus Corner: Student Food Pantry

Overview

With tuition, fees, textbook costs and living expenses, it has become increasingly difficult for students to juggle the costs of living with the costs of obtaining a degree, and thus many students are finding themselves choosing between essentials such as food and the costs of college. The food pantry was established in 2017 to provide non-perishable food to those in need at COTC.
