Students come to Sacramento State seeking more than a degree. Here, opportunity is real, impact is measurable, and the return is undeniable. But many students face significant barriers to stability and success. With more than 40% of Hornets qualifying for CalFresh — and many experiencing new challenges due to changing eligibility — the demand for food, housing, and emergency support is rising sharply.

Sacramento State’s basic needs and support programs provide the foundation students rely on to thrive. These resources offer the stability that allows them to focus on their studies, and step confidently into their potential.

Your gift on Giving Tuesday strengthens that foundation. With your generosity, every Hornet has a better chance to stay secure, stay enrolled, and succeed — creating a lifelong return on investment for our students and our community.

All Sacramento State programs and activities are open and available to all regardless of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin. Please view the University’s full equal opportunity statement by clicking here.
