Food Insecurity is an issue for many people in the United States; it touches many of our student body. Several EGCC staff members have formed CARES Centers to not only address the needs of our students in the area of food insecurity but also in other areas as well. Unfortunately, as of now, we have not yet figured out a way to extend aid to students beyond the in-seat ones on both physical campuses. As such, this guide will help you find assistance in different states and areas outside our geographical footprints. There are tabs available for Food Insecurity and Housing. Coming soon will be resources for among other issues: Utility Assistance, Health Care, Mental Help, and others.
We are also proud to be partners with various organizations.
Youngstown Partners: Second Harvest Food Bank; Buster's Brigade (for pet food); Help Network of Northeast Ohio (financial partner)
Steubenville partner: Mid-Ohio Food Bank
If you are an in-seat student and require our assistance, and have yet to fill out our in-take form. Please fill it out: Intake Form.
You can also contact us at ycfoodpantry@egcc.edu or scfoodpantry@egcc.edu to receive assistance.
