Support When You Need It Most

A Community That Cares

The RVCC Resource Center and Food Pantry is open to the entire college community. It exists to ensure students have access to basic necessities that support academic success and personal well-being.

Removing Barriers to Success

By addressing everyday needs, the Center helps reduce financial stress that can interfere with staying enrolled. Support is provided with dignity, respect, and confidentiality.

Food and Daily Essentials

Students can access groceries, snacks, and pantry staples at no cost. Weekly donations from Wegmans provide over $1,000 in fresh produce, meat, dairy, and pantry items.

Clothing for Every Season

The Center offers everyday and seasonal clothing, including professional attire for job interviews. These resources help students feel prepared, confident, and comfortable on and off campus.

Financial and Practical Assistance

Available support includes gas cards, ShopRite gift cards, bookstore vouchers, and grocery store cards. Transportation assistance and book vouchers help reduce educational expenses.

Technology and Academic Support

A laptop loaner program is available to ensure students have the technology needed to complete coursework, attend classes, and stay connected.

Health, Housing, and Beyond

The Center connects students to housing and wellness resources, along with access to menstrual products and diapers, helping meet critical personal and family needs.

Powered by Generosity

In addition to Wegmans, support comes from Somerset Food Bank, Community Food Bank of New Jersey, student associations, faculty, staff, and community donors.

The Center is committed to reducing stigma, building comprehensive support systems, and maintaining accessible, equitable, and sustainable services.

Building Empathy and Support
