The UCI Basic Needs Center supports student’s financial stability by ensuring equitable access to basic needs through student empowerment, community collaboration and institutional integration. Our aim is to shift cultural consciousness towards understanding the fulfillment of basic needs – which include food and housing security – as a guaranteed right for every person. We understand that meeting the basic needs of our students greatly impacts their mental and physical health, academic performance, work productivity, and holistic success.
One of our signature services is the FRESH Pantry which provides emergency food and toiletries to UCI students facing food insecurity. Your monetary contributions will help stock our pantry shelves with nutrient-dense food varieties!
