Addressing Food Insecurity with On-Campus Food Pantries
LCCC recognizes that food insecurity can be a significant barrier to student success. To combat this, we provide confidential and accessible food pantries across our campuses. These pantries offer nutritious food options and essential personal care items to students who may be experiencing food insecurity or need supplemental support.
Main Campus (Nanticoke) – Peter Lello Food Pantry
Located at the Main Campus in Nanticoke, the Peter Lello Food Pantry is readily available to students. You can also find pantry access at the Nanticoke Campus Center (2nd Floor) and the Wilkes Barre Campus Main Office. Stop by to access a range of food items that can help you stay fueled and focused on your studies.
