Panther Care Program
● In August 2019, Chaffey College introduced a student emergency intervention and wellness program, now known as Panther Care, to help meet the basic needs and wellbeing of at-risk students. Panther Care serves some of Chaffey’s most vulnerable students, which include those facing crises such as housing displacement and/or food insecurity, by providing food, referrals for housing, emergency funds and/or counseling - all of which correlate to student success, health and wellness. This is a college-wide intervention hosted by the Department of Strategic communications.

For further questions about the student emergency intervention program and/or to refer a student in need, please contact Prentice Harris at prentice.harris@chaffey.edu or Albert Rodriguez at adalberto.rodriguez@chaffey.edu
Program Goals:
- To support and empower students by assisting them in meeting basic needs as they work to complete their educational goals
- To provide students with immediate support during an unexpected emergency through meals, referrals for short-term housing, and emergency grant funds so they can continue with their academics and persist at Chaffey College
- To connect students with ongoing counseling and assistance through college resources and community partnerships
Panther Pantry
The Panther Pantry offers non-perishable food items for all active Chaffey College students. To access the pantry, students must present their Chaffey College student ID and fill out a short form on-site.
Panther Pantry is currently a drive-through model hosted on all three campus locations.
Students are allowed to pick up one bag of pre-arranged goods once per distribution date.
