Pablo
For Pablo, a University of Houston student, college has been a juggling act balancing classes, work, and raising a young family all on a very tight budget. Like many students, there were times when making ends meet felt overwhelming.
That’s where the Cougar Cupboard, one of Houston Food Bank’s Food for Change partners, made a real difference. Pablo and his family now have reliable access to nutritious food, giving them stability and peace of mind. He shared that this support allows him to focus on his studies without having to choose between putting food on the table and investing in his future.
Today, the Cougar Cupboard helps him by providing groceries, snacks, and, most importantly, a sense of security during a demanding season of life. It’s this kind of support that empowers students like Pablo to keep moving forward and accomplish their goals.
