Your Gift Made an Incredible Difference on PCC’s Big Give Day! 

Thanks to your support, we’ve strengthened and expanded scholarships and programs at PCC — including the Hope Services Program.

Your gift helped provide emergency support for students who have experienced dating and domestic violence, sexual violence, and stalking. These funds were used to help cover critical basic needs — including gas, electricity, water, internet, partial rent, and replacement laptops for students whose situations and financial struggles were directly tied to these traumatic experiences.

This kind of support creates more than temporary relief — it provides stability, safety, and the ability to stay in school. When students have working laptops, internet access, and a safe place to live, they can focus on healing and continuing their education without added fear or stress.

As we build on this momentum, your involvement remains essential. Whether through advocacy, volunteering, or continued giving, you play a vital role in removing financial barriers for Portland Community College students. If you’d like to learn more about the impact of your support or ways to stay involved, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for believing in our mission and investing in the success of our students and programs. We truly appreciate you!

With gratitude,

Caroline Bartlett
Hope Services Program Director
Portland Community College

P.S. We have BIG news — our next Big Give Day is moving to March 4-5, 2026. Save the date and stay tuned for more updates.
