HIVE SUPPLY

RCTC has two on-campus food pantries; one on Main Campus and one at Heintz Center. Throughout the year, hundreds of students at RCTC visit the Hive Supply to pick up perishable and non-perishable foods, school supplies and hygiene products. This resource is free to all current students.

How does it work? Students enter the Hive Supply, fill up a bag with up to 15 items, and then swipe their student ID on the way out. Swiping your ID helps us track how many students utilize this resource.

For current Hive Supply hours please visit the Hive Supply Webpage. Hours are subject to change throughout the week.

Interested in donating? Bring non-perishable foods, school supplies, or hygiene products to C407 or drop them in a Hive Supply donation bin located at Heintz Center.

HEALTH SERVICES

RCTC Student Health Services and Zumbro Valley Health Center have partnered to offer on-campus mental health therapy services to our students.  Current RCTC students who may be struggling with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns can utilize these services.

Licensed mental health therapists are available to meet with students via Zoom or in person within the Student Health Services office area.  To schedule an appointment, go to MyHealth.RCTC.edu and login with your RCTC login credentials, or call Student Health Services at 507-285-7261.

If students have health insurance coverage, we will bill the insurance company for mental health therapy services.
