The RCC Advocacy and Resource Center (ARC) has partnered with the local ODHS Eligibility team to provide on-campus support for students seeking financial assistance.
Beginning in May, an ODHS representative will be available for two hours per week in Room W12 (Wiseman) on the Redwood Campus to assist students with determining eligibility and enrolling in SNAP benefits.
This partnership is designed to improve access to essential resources for RCC students and is expected to increase student enrollment and participation in the STEP program, which is directly tied to SNAP benefits.
RCC plans to expand service hours and locations to include Jackson County campuses as student needs are assessed.
Students may schedule an appointment with an ODHS Eligibility team member by contacting Susan Bame, RCC Resource Coordinator, on Teams or by calling 541-956-7369.
