Your success here at Richland is our highest priority and we want you to know that it’s okay to reach out for some help in order to succeed. That’s why we have developed a wide variety of services that will help you when you need it.
Types of Services Available
The Food Pantry at Richland
If you are experiencing food insecurity, you can visit the Food Pantry at Richland on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 11am to 2pm and Wednesdays from 4pm to 6pm. Please use the Food Pantry entrance located in Parking Lot C. The Pantry at Richland Community College is an extension of Northeast Community Fund. The Pantry Questionnaire can be found in myRichland>My Student Info>Scholarships (RCC Foundation).
Student Assistance Fund
If you are facing unexpected situations that will impact your ability to be successful at Richland, the Foundation has established the Student Assistance Fund to provide emergency financial assistance to Richland students. The Student Assistance Fund was established in 2017 and provides financial assistance to Richland students as unexpected situations arise, including medical bills, utility bills, rent, childcare, transportation, technology, etc.
The Student Assistance Fund application is temporarily closed. If a student is experiencing an emergency financial situation, they may reach out via email to studentassistance@richland.edu.
Mental Health Services
Richland Community College has partnered with two organizations to provide both in-person and teletherapy mental health resources. Memorial Behavioral Health delivers in-person and/or telehealth counseling with a licensed professional, Joe Drew, MA, LPC. Students receive these services for free.
For teletherapy, Richland partners with TimelyCare – a mobile app (which can also be accessed by desktop) that provides 24/7 access to virtual care from anywhere in the United States at no cost.
