Remembering Melissa Smith-Zuniga
Lamar Community College (LCC) recently held a touching memorial event to honor the memory of Melissa Smith-Zuniga, a beloved member of the LCC community. Melissa, who tragically
passed away late 2023, was known for her kindness, generosity, and dedication to helping others. To commemorate her legacy of service, LCC dedicated
their food pantry in her honor on April 3rd, 2024. Following the speeches, a plaque was unveiled at the entrance of the food pantry, officially dedicating it to Melissa’s memory.
The pantry, now known as the Melissa Smith-Zuniga Food Pantry, serves as a lasting tribute to her commitment to helping those in need. It is a place where students facing food insecurity
can access nutritious meals and essential pantry items, reflecting Melissa’s belief in the importance of supporting others. The dedication of the food pantry in Melissa’s name serves as a
reminder of the positive impact that one person can have and inspires others to follow in her footsteps.
