What you can get at the CAT-5 Cupboard

• A bag of groceries. One per student per week.
   
• A quick snack, like a granola bar or crackers
   
• A quick hot meal, like EasyMac or Ramen

What can be in a grocery bag?

You can build a bag of groceries based on what's on the CAT-5 Cupboard shelves. Shelves are restocked every other Friday, so come in to see what's available. 

Cost

Nothing! The groceries and snacks at the CAT-5 Cupboard are a free resource for students. We just ask that everyone take what they need and make sure to leave enough for others.

What to bring and what to expect

Bring your LSC ID card! You'll need to sign-in with your LSC ID number and show your ID at the SRC front counter.

When you walk in, someone will tell you about what's available and help you access grocery bags, snacks, or other resources. You'll just need to sign in and note what you're taking so that we can maintain our inventory.

Our most-needed items for donation 

Donations of cash are very useful as they allow us to purchase what we most need. Donated food items should be at least a month away from the expiration date, and we especially appreciate items from our most-needed list, which tend to run low the quickest. Some items, like 1-2lb bags of beans and rice, are hard for us to buy in bulk, and others stock our hot foods and snacks station in addition to going in grocery bags, so they run out quickly:
