HCC Food Pantry
In an effort to combat food insecurity, Housatonic provides students with the opportunity to receive healthy and nutritious non-perishable items and a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits.
The program is open to all currently enrolled students. No pre-signup is required, but students will need to show a school id. The program is based on the honesty system and no proof of need is required.
Enrolled students can visit the Food Pantry 2 times per month and self-select 10 nonperishable items and 4 fresh produce items at each visit. Fresh produce is delivered on Mondays and available after 12pm on Mondays and while supplies last throughout the week.
