DACC Comfort Casita

"No One Goes Hungry On Our Campus!"

 


DACC's in-house food pantry provides free supplementary food assistance to current DACC students, staff and faculty. This food is intended to lessen the burden of the growing economic challenges our community faces. We hope this food will support our student retention, academic success and overall well- being. We ask each visit you bring a reusable bag and have your Aggie ID number available.
