The Relief Response Room, which opened on Monday, October 22^nd, is located in Building A, Room 240 on SRTC’s Thomasville campus.

Relief response items will be available to students on the Bainbridge campus beginning on Tuesday, October 30 after 12:00 pm. Students may pick up these donated items from the Student Wellness Center.

Also on Monday, October 22^nd, students on several campuses were provided with a welcome respite in the form of free refreshments at lunch.
