The food pantry located at the LCC main campus is temporarily closed until the end of January due to health and safety reasons. In the meantime, students can access The Student Food Pantry located at 710 E. 17th Ave., Eugene, or one of the many neighborhood pantries in the county.

Recognizing how food and other basic needs are important to students' student success as well as their and their families' lives, President Bulger has charged a workgroup to make comprehensive recommendations to increase student food security to her in the near future.

Anyone is welcome to provide feedback to this workgroup about student food insecurity. Any student who needs assistance with any basic need should contact LCC's Community Advocacy and Resource Education (CARE) .

From the Mental Health and Wellness Center (mhwc@lanecc.edu, 541-463-5920): Studies have shown that individuals who maintain a routine are more productive, have less stress, better sleeping habits, better eating habits, as well as improved overall mental health. Here are some ways to help develop a routine.

• Decide what needs to be in your routine such as school, work, studying, exercise, important activities, such as sleeping and eating.
• Set small goals for yourself, break larger assignments into smaller more manageable pieces throughout your week.
• Start with one week at a time to help you decide what needs to be in your routine and what does not.
• Don’t forget about yourself! Set time aside to do something you enjoy that helps you relieve stress or unwind. 

The LCC Library is located on the second floor of the Center Building. 

• Get your research on:  We have loads of books, thousands of ebooks, and millions of articles from magazines, journals and newspapers. Visit the Library's website to learn more. Or stop by the Research Help desk for a quick tour in person.
• New Year Wishing Tree: The new year is a time to reflect on hopes and dreams for the future. Stop by the Library and add your wish to our sparkling Wishing Tree.
• Get the New York Times Online for free: LCC students can get their own NYT Online subscription. Visit this link for instructions .
