Basic Needs Support Request

We’re here to support your success at Fresno City College—both in and out of the classroom. The Basic Needs Center connects you to important resources like food, housing, transportation, textbooks, and technology. 

We understand that life can bring challenges, and we want to help. If you need support, please fill out the Basic Needs Student Support Request Form below.
