Basic Needs Center - Fall 2026

Give our operations a boost! Stock our shelves with pantry staples like canned goods, rice and beans.

Help a student navigating a tight budget with a grocery gift card — the kind of short-term support that keeps a rough week from turning into a rough semester.

Help expand our pantry's hours and operations, so more students can access fresh produce and grocery essentials when they need them most.

Keep students moving toward their goals. Your gift helps fund transportation support that helps students get to campus, work and appointments without added financial strain.

Strengthen our campus safety net. Your gift helps fund an emergency grant for a student facing sudden hardship — a bill, a crisis, an unexpected cost — that could otherwise derail their education.

Champion a student through crisis. Your gift provides significant direct financial support — the kind of emergency grant that can keep a student enrolled and stable when life throws the unexpected their way.

When 86% of student voters said yes to basic needs security, they proved this campus is ready to solve this issue — the measure just missed the turnout threshold by two points! Your gift carries that momentum forward, driving opportunity, dignity and basic needs security across our entire community. No student should go hungry while we wait for a permanent solution.
