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.

Basic Needs Student Support Request Form

What happens after you submit the form?

A Basic Needs Counselor will contact you through your SCCCD college email within 2 business days. They may also call you. Be sure to check your college email often.

Need Help After Hours?

If you need help when our office is closed, call  United Way 2-1-1 . This is a free, private service that’s open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They speak many languages and can connect you to food, shelter, and other services.
