Student Advocacy & Resource Center

The Market provides grab and go meals and snacks for students experiencing food insecurity. Groceries, personal care, and other items are also available for eligible students. Our partnership with the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank allows us to provide diapers and period products to students in need of such items.

Students who meet USDA guidelines for food insecurity may qualify for the Archer Meals program, which offers help purchasing hot, nutritious meals from the campus food service provider, American Dining Creations.

It's difficult to focus on your education when you lack basic needs such as safe shelter, food, clothing, utilities, childcare, and other necessities. SARC provides non-clinical social services to help you identify and access resources to keep them on track toward completing your academic goals.

Through support from the STLCC Foundation, College leadership, and in collaboration with financial aid office, SARC may be able to help you identify financial support resources that will address your unexpected or unmet basic needs. The FDIC Money Smart program is used to help students gain an understanding of practical financial literacy.

When you want to have a confidential conversation about issues such as domestic or dating violence, emotional abuse, sexual harassment, sexual assault, or stalking, or discrimination the SARC coordinators can help.

SARC staff will build relationships with you and serve as a source of support throughout your academic career at STLCC. Through events facilitated, hosted, or co-sponsored by SARC, you will have an opportunity to learn and build community outside the classroom.
