Help California community college students as they return to school

August 1 - September 30, 2024

Donating essential items helps students save on everyday expenses, enabling them to allocate more funds towards food, housing, and other necessities. All California community college campuses host on-campus Basic Needs Centers, where students can access these items for free.

You can help by donating:

In partnership with the Foundation for California Community Colleges, Tri Counties Bank is hosting a Community Cares Basic Needs Drive to help support community college students throughout California. A 2023 study showed that two out of every three California community college students grapple with at least one basic needs insecurity.
