Access to resources for the HFC community

Access to essential resources is a key part of student and employee success at HFC. We want to make you aware of College resources and local resources that can help you throughout the year, especially as federal benefits programs such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) might not be issuing funds to people who normally rely on them.

The most critical matters for some members of our community are food and basic needs. Here are some resources that might be of help to you.

Hawks’ Nest student food pantry

Located on the first floor of the Andrew A. Mazzara Administrative Services & Conference (ASCC) (Building L on the main campus), the Hawks’ Nest (Room L-138) is a food pantry that provides supplemental food assistance to HFC students. Any student registered for at least one credit hour at HFC is eligible to access the Hawks’ Nest. No other documentation is required.

Students may access the food pantry up to twice per month.

For questions or more information about the Hawks’ Nest, contact 313-317-6529 or hawksnest@hawkmail.hfcc.edu.
