Donate to the UCI Basic Needs Center!
Your generosity helps fuel student success. Every donation—whether it be monetary funds, food, toiletries, or clothes—helps to ensure students can meet their basic needs and focus on their education.
Fill Our Pantries: Nourish Student Success
With CalFresh (SNAP) benefit delays and rising costs of living, students across campus are facing growing financial pressures.
This holiday season, we're raising $15,000 to expand our food pantry's reach. Your gift will directly aid our ability to stock our shelves, extend service hours, and provide emergency relief when students need it most.
Join us in ensuring that every student can focus on learning, not where their next meal will come from.
