  • Additionally, the Personal Care Pantry is also available to currently enrolled CPTC students and can also be accessed when utilizing the CPTC Food Pantry.
  • Through a partnership with Nourish Piece County, a mobile food bank is on the Lakewood Campus every Wednesday from 1 - 3 pm. CPTC students, staff, faculty, and Lakewood Community members can access this service once a week.
