CSM’s Hawk Pantry and Hawk Feeder micro-pantries are available on the La Plata, Leonardtown, Regional Hughesville, and Prince Frederick Campuses for students experiencing food insecurity.
Hawk Feeders are drop-by micro-pantries that are always available while the college is open.
The Hawk Pantry is a weekly opportunity for current students to receive up to 30 pounds of food per week.
