The University of Houston opened Cougar Cupboard in partnership with the Houston Food Bank’s Food for Change market network. The cupboard is available to all enrolled undergraduate or graduate students who may need access to additional food.
Cougar Cupboard is located on the first floor of the Campus Recreation and Wellness Center, in UH Wellness, suite 1038 and is stocked full of fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen and refrigerated foods, and dry goods. Students can receive up to 30 lbs. of free groceries every week from Cougar Cupboard. To receive food from Cougar Cupboard, students must attend a one-time market orientation hosted by Cougar Cupboard staff and complete a short application for the Houston Food Bank’s Food Scholarship Program.
We will be meeting at 11:10 AM at the Student Center South front desk. We'll walk over to the Campus Rec and volunteer from 11:15 AM to 12:45 PM. Volunteers will be assisting with deliveries arriving on that day, as well as the set up and maintenance of Cougar Cupboard.
This event occurs every Thursday in the semester, so please select your preferred dates below for the current month.
You'll receive a reminder email prior to the event containing more information! If you have any questions, please contact Melyssa Navarro at
