As part of Embark Georgia the EGSC Bobcat Pantry helps provide students with some of the basic needs they may not be able to attain through other means. Students can be referred for assistance or apply using the attached form. The Bobcat Pantry program was organized to ensure that all students attending East Georgia State College would not be adversely affected in their academic studies due to their inability to provide basic needs.
All students can receive assistance through the program, they can submit an Online Request Form or contact a member of the Faculty/Staff at East Georgia State College.
The Bobcat Pantry Program will provide educational, and personal counseling, mentoring, personal care needs, and assistance with food. These services can be requested through submittal of our online form, which allows the student to do so confidentially. The request will then be reviewed to determine need and to what extent it can be performed within a 24-48 business hour period. The student will then be contacted and informed of where they can receive their requested items.
In addition, members of the student life team are happy to assist students with navigating the SNAP Benefits application process for additional assistance.
