Lone Star College System’s care centers meet students’ needs It was during the height of the COVID-19 pan- demic when the Lone Star College System noticed a lot of students who didn’t have the necessary items needed to make ends meet. That’s when Carolina Redmond, who is the executive director of care programs at LSCS, said the college developed a centralized tracking system so students could identify in con dentiality what it is that they need. “It’s an opportunity for [students] to just grab the items they need without having to worry about where they’re going to get those items,” Redmond said. Now, LSCS operates multiple care centers at its campuses, including LSC University Park, LSC Tomball and LSC Montgomery. Two-minute impact The centers o er students items and support such as eggs, milk, produce and other food items; baby supplies; clothing; school supplies; emer- gency assistance and informational resources. Redmond said through a partnership with the Houston Food Bank, the care centers can provide students with 60-120 total pounds of food a month. LSCS also partners with the Montgomery County Food Bank. “If we’re able to provide the services ... this allows [students] to retain and be in class and be able to feel comfortable that they know that they have a college campus that truly cares about them,” Redmond said.
