How do you get more involved in the panther pantry and help out? Is it volunteer work or is it a paid job? Can you donate or is it all bought beforehand

Brandon, I hope you got your question answered. All you need to do is walk into the pantry at you campus and they can answer any questions you might have. Hours vary from campus to campus. I’m a Student Ambassador at the Southeast campus, and even if the pantry is closed, you are able to access it by going to the Student Resource Hub. You need to be a current PCC student and show your student ID with the current term’s sticker on it and you’re good to go. We also have information on other resources, both on and of campus.

How does someone access this resource? I had to cut my hours at work to keep up with the school work and the cafeteria meals are so expensive that I have run out of money for food. Worried about paying my rent too but school is so important that I have to keep trying. Its becoming a major strain on my resources and survivability though. Who can I talk to for help?

Sarah, there is nothing wrong with the writing. The content is important and valuable to share. You’re the one who should be embarrassed for being so petty.

This article is full of grammatical errors and poor sentence structure. How is this person writing for a college when they don’t even have basic high school level writing skills? This is totally unprofessional and it’s embarrassing that PCC actually posts this stuff.

Thank you to all those ASPCC and non-ASPCC folks helping this cause out. I appreciate the push for a welcoming presence at the pantry for those in need of food. The cost of all things considered is nullified when you are hungry; therefore a waste of time and money. Thank you to the students/staff/volunteers for your continued support in the Panther Pantry.* You can even grab a snack at the library. Cannot learn if hungry!!

It should be made clear that these efforts are lead by students! All food pantries are part of ASPCC and “The pantries receive funding from STUDENT FEES (primarily) but also rely on (small percentage of) cash donations to operate.”

We are starting to see efforts from “PCC” and lets ask for and support these efforts to match what our students are doing.

Thanks,
Peter
