Community Resources
Wilkes Community College has partnered with Single Stop, a non-profit organization, to create a one-stop shop that can connect students with a variety of community and federal resources they may need to stay focused on their academic goals.
Single Stop uses specially-designed software that, through a series of questions, identifies resources students may be eligible for. This service is free to all students. Benefits and services may include:
- SNAP (EBT)
- Medicaid
- Tax credits
- Child care
- Emergency utility service
