Support When You Need It Most
FLCC offers assistance with food and transportation costs, provides referrals to local agencies, and grants emergency aid. Review the resources below to learn how we can help and request the support you need.
Help with the Essentials
Fill out a quick and confidential benefits screener to see if you qualify for public assistance programs or community support. It only takes a few minutes and can connect you with resources to meet your basic needs.
Flick's Place
Our stuff is your stuff! We know how expensive it is to live on your own. If you need help, we're here to assist you in finding what you're looking for. Flick's Place offers a variety of household items and toiletries, including bedding, clothing, and cookware.
Food Assistance
FLCC provides both on-campus and community-based food assistance. Our on-campus food pantry offers students enough nonperishable food for three meals a day over a three-day period. Students can select their preferred items and access the pantry twice each semester.
Additionally, we refer students to local food pantries, community services, and SNAP. When available, we provide a hot meal to students with $10 cafeteria gift cards.
For assistance, visit us in Room 3260.

Transportation Support
It's difficult to learn when you're not in class. If you're having trouble getting to class, the Community Standards & Counseling Office can help with transportation costs, including bus passes and $10 gas cards. Students can access this assistance twice each semester.
For assistance, visit us in Room 3260.
Student Emergency Fund
FLCC provides limited emergency funds for students facing financial crises, sponsored by the FLCC Foundation, to help them stay enrolled. Student Emergency Funds are not an early disbursement of financial aid. They are intended for extreme situations and should be considered only after all other options have been exhausted.
Follow this process to apply for emergency funding support:
- An application is required; applying does not guarantee approval.
- You are required to submit your application to us electronically.
- You must be enrolled and registered for classes in the semester for which you are applying for funds.
- All applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-serve basis and are approved by a committee.
- There is a 24-72 hour waiting period. We will contact you with the decision.
- Funds are not given in cash.
- If you receive a Dr. Barbara A. Etzel Student Emergency Loan, you will be required to sign a repayment letter before the disbursement of funds.
- If approved for a Dr. Barbara A. Etzel Student Emergency Loan, a hold will be placed on your account restricting all activities (grades, transcripts, registration, etc.) until it has been repaid.
- If you receive a Dr. Barbara A. Etzel Student Emergency Loan, you will be required to repay your balance either with financial aid funds or through a payment plan.
- You may receive a maximum of 2 disbursements of student emergency funding during your FLCC career.
The staff reserves the right to apply additional restrictions if deemed appropriate.
