Cards for Resources
CARE Team
If a situation is an emergency and requires immediate response, dial 911 or UCCS Police (719-255-3111) to request emergency services.
The CARE (Campus Assessment Response and Evaluation) Team addresses concerns related to students’ safety and wellbeing, and we support students in times of challenge and crisis.

Clyde's Cupboard
Clyde’s Cupboard is a 100% donation-based and non-need-based food pantry on campus that provides free food and toiletries for all enrolled UCCS students. If you are able and interested, you can make financial or physical item donations to support our students facing food insecurity.
Community at PPLD
The Pikes Peak Library District manages a comprehensive list for crisis, food, clothing, shelter, and other assistance programs within the larger community. You may find the Helping Hands and the Tough Topics guides helpful to post in your courses for students.
Gallogly Recreation and Wellness Center
Mental Health services may be useful for our community members experiencing related crises. While not an immediate impact on the food insecurity or physical challenge of the moment, attending to mental health and wellness needs are critical in overall resiliency and care.
Lyda Hill Institute for Human Resilience
