Olympic College Foundation

When expenses pile up, a student’s world can come tumbling down.

A sick child. A car repair. Reduced hours at work. When unexpected expenses hit OC students already struggling to pay utilities, rent, transportation and childcare, something has to go. Too often it’s school.

In Washington State, one in every two college students grapple with basic needs insecurity, including not having enough to eat or a safe place to live.

Your gift will help ensure that a sudden, small expense doesn't derail an entire college career -- and a student's opportunity for a better life. 

Said one student who has received assistance from the OC Resource Center:
“This is vital because the people who go there are really in need. They’re people like me who are 35 years old and coming back to school on a very limited income and public assistance. Getting a textbook through the Resource Center is basically like them giving you $150 because you’re saving that much.”

All donations through Kitsap Great Give will provide emergency support for struggling students. Make your gift today!
