Basic Needs

We are here to help!

The Basic Needs Center is intended to be a one-stop, single location for students to access basic needs services and resources linking students to on- and off-campus housing, food, mental health, and other basic needs. Students will be required to sign in each time they visit the Basic Needs Center. Students are allowed 1 snack & drink per day. Bag of food: You can receive a bag of food from the pantry two weeks. Note on Housing: At this time Merced College Basic Needs does not provide financial assistance for housing. Please see the housing tab for off campus resources.
