Food Pantries
Panther Student Pantry
The Panther Student Pantry (PSP) opened its doors February 2014 to directly benefit PCC students. This special initiative operates with the help of ambitious employees and energetic students. We are a partner agency with Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado.
The pantry is funded by student fees to assist in overcoming food insecurities. Students who are currently enrolled at PCC can visit the pantry once a week and select up to six unique food items and one hygiene product with a valid PCC Student ID.
Operating hours - (While classes are in session.)
Monday & Wednesday: 10am - 12pm
Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday: 11am - 1pm
Location
We’re located in room AB-015 on the lower level of the Mike Davis Academic Building.
Donate
To contribute to the pantry, you may drop off food items at the permanent locations set up around campus. We welcome non-perishable food items, toiletries and personal hygiene items.
To assist financially, you may make a tax-deductible donation through the PCC Foundation or put your contribution in the PSP donation drop box just inside the doors of the Learning Center (room AB-042).
Volunteer
The pantry is run by PCC students and/or faculty and staff who volunteer their time. There are always two volunteers on duty during a shift; one handles sign-ups and the other monitors students as they collect their items.
