RCC Students

Basic Needs Resource Center

At the Basic Needs Resource Center (BNRC), we believe that no student should go hungry, lack shelter, or struggle without support while pursuing their education. We are here to help RCC students facing food insecurity, unstable housing, or wellness challenges by providing essential resources, connection to services, and a caring community.

Through our intake process, you can confidentially share what kind of supports you need—whether that’s access to our Food Pantry, housing assistance, hygiene supplies, counseling referrals, or community services like SNAP/CalFresh support. Once you submit your information (about 5–10 minutes), our team works with you each semester to connect the dots and make sure you’re not navigating it all alone.

Our mission is rooted in the belief that when basic needs are met, students can better engage with classes, find balance in life, and reach their full potential. If you're in need, we encourage you to reach out. You're not just a number—you are seen, heard, and your success matters to us.
