Supporting Students' Basic Needs at Sacramento State

At Sacramento State, our students bring their diverse perspectives, experiences, and remarkable determination to create positive change in our community. They are passionate learners and future leaders who demonstrate incredible resilience while pursuing their education. Through our comprehensive basic needs support system, we ensure every student has the foundation they need to succeed.

Our basic needs programs provide vital resources that help students overcome unexpected challenges. The Sac State CARES program responds quickly when students face emerging needs, while the Student Emergency Grant offers critical financial support to help students stay on track with their education. For students experiencing housing uncertainty, our Student Emergency Housing program provides immediate shelter and helps secure stable living arrangements. The ASI Food Pantry ensures no student has to choose between buying textbooks or groceries by providing food and essential items at no cost.

Your gift today strengthens these essential programs and shows our students they have a community standing behind them. When you support basic needs at Sacramento State, you help create an environment where students can focus on their studies and achieve their full potential. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference in a student's life. Will you join us in supporting our remarkable students by making a gift today? 

Thank you for being part of our Hornet family and helping ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed.
