The Ruby McSwain Cougar Market, CCCC's free food pantry, aspires to support student success by ensuring that no student goes hungry because of a lack of income or access to food. The Cougar Market is stocked with fresh and non-perishable snacks and meal items to temporarily alleviate immediate food insecurity for students and their families.
