The University of Houston has opened the 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.
The 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 utilize the 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 10:50 AM at the info desk at Student Center South and walking over to the Campus Rec and volunteering from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM.We will be assisting the workers with set up and maintenance of Cougar Cupboard. This is a weekly event, so if we reach the volunteer cap then you can always volunteer another week. Volunteers will be assigned dates based on your preference indicated in the form on a first come, first serve basis. *TIMES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE based on the needs of the cupboard in the given week. Please refer to future MVP communications for exact dates and times closer to the date of the event*
You'll receive a reminder email prior to the event containing more information, and if you have any questions, please contact Nine Abad at
