Cougar Food Pantry
It can be hard to make ends meet when you’re paying for college and living on a tight budget. This struggle hits close to home: 12% of Clark County residents live below the poverty line and do not have regular access to enough food. Now in its third year, the Cougar Food Pantry helps bridge the gap between meals for students in need. You can help too! The Cougar Food Pantry has helped feed more than 600 students, but the demand for food often outstrips the supply.
