Program Descriptions:
The Panther Pantry is a free resource to all PCC students. Our pantries are stocked with fresh food, canned food, hygiene supplies, and more. Panther Pantries are intended as a stop-gap to help students in periods of high need while they coordinate access to other food assistance resources. The Panther Pantries are here to serve current students, faculty, and staff at Portland Community College. In order to access the pantry, you must be a currently enrolled student, register once a year, and show a current PCC ID card at every visit.
The Basic Needs Hub is a one-stop location for PCC students to find support for their basic needs concerns. Our Peer Resource Navigators provide information and referrals to basic needs resources like food, housing, utilities, transportation, and healthcare so they can focus on their personal, academic and career goals. Peer Navigators can assist with SNAP and OHP applications as well as the TriMet Reduced Fare program.
To access these resources, you must be a current student and have a PCC ID card and a PantrySoft account. Create an account using your MyPCC credentials at: app.pantrysoft.com/login/pcc
*You only need to register once an academic year. If you need help registering, pantry and basic needs staff will be able to assist. Please be sure to bring your MyPCC email and login information. If you need assistance registering, please be sure to give yourself adequate time as our pantries are very busy.
