Cooperation for the Common Good

The Panther Community Care Collective (PCCC) is a mutual aid nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that every student, family, and neighbor of Anthony Middle School has the essentials they need to thrive.

The Three Pillars of Our Mission

  • Food Security: Ensuring no neighbor goes hungry.
  • Stable Housing: Keeping our community members in their homes.
  • Life Necessities: Providing the foundational support needed for a resilient, connected network.

How We Distribute Aid

Accountability is at the heart of mutual aid. PCCC has established a formal Mission and Aid Resolution to ensure every dollar is used effectively and equitably.

Our Philosophy of Trust

We believe in the dignity of our neighbors. Funds are distributed regardless of income or past history based on a good-faith attestation of need. We are a community built on mutual dependence and honesty.

How the Process Works

People are often nervous about asking for help or worried their donation will be wasted. Here’s how it works:

  1. The Need: A neighbor submits a confidential request for rent or essentials.
  2. The Review: Our board reviews requests based on our established priority scale.
  3. The Impact: Funds are sent to PCCC by community members to solve the immediate crisis.
