Student Emergency Assistance Programs
About Student Emergency Assistance Programs
GGC understands the transformative nature of higher education in changing the trajectory of our student's lives.
When students face insufficient financial aid assistance, this can often impact the amount of time spent to complete a degree and increase the possibility of dropping out. Students are also likely to experience distractions from their studies when facing food insecurities and homelessness.
GGC Grizzlies meet these challenges as a community and offer the following resources to embrace the needs of our students.
Grizzlies Helping Grizzlies
Grizzlies Helping Grizzlies provides support for GGC students who may not be able to meet their basic needs, such as homelessness and food insecurities. The program offers assistance in the form of gift cards, toiletries and other items that are donated by members of the Grizzly community.
Grizzlies Helping Grizzlies is a collaborative program created by Student Affairs with staff involvement from multiple offices throughout campus. Contact deanofstudents@ggc.edu for more information.
GGC Care Pantry
The GGC Care Pantry provides food and other basic necessities to those individuals in our campus community who are experiencing the stress of financial constraints. Information on nutrition and healthy food choices is available.
This program provides much needed support to GGC students, supports the college’s core values, and ensures respect, empathy, dignity, value and equality to each individual.
Popular needed donations include shelf-stable dry and canned foods, such as pasta, ramen, instant oatmeal or potatoes, canned meals or meats, sauces, vegetables, fruits, trail mix, crackers, and of course, peanut butter and jelly. Healthy, low sodium and low sugar foods are also appreciated. Please do not donate expired, damaged, opened or used items.
Grizzly Thrift
Grizzly Thrift provides free clothing to GGC students in need during pop-up-style events throughout the fall and spring semesters. This sustainable fashion program also creates civic engagement opportunities for Grizzlies Serve volunteers and supports the goals of the Environmental Club.
Drop off donations – clean clothing, shoes and coats in good condition – in one of the bins in Buildings A, B or C, the Student Center, the Student Life office (E-3120), or at one of the events.
