The Hub - Basic Needs Initiatives
An advocate, a supporter, a navigator and a trusted friend — the Hub Basic Needs Center is all of these and more for undergraduate and graduate students who need a helping hand at a critical time. The Hub offers a comprehensive support system, providing immediate crisis intervention services and linking students to long-term resources that support self-sufficiency.
Our goal is to ensure all students have enough to eat, a safe place to sleep and the capacity to focus on their education without undue financial stress.Equitably minimizing basic needs challenges allows all Tritons to flourish both academically and personally. Your gift to The Hub - Basic Needs Initiatives fund will help provide students with nutritious, no-cost food, temporary emergency housing, and/or financial crisis support, ensuring they have the resources to focus on their education.
Gifts of any size make a meaningful impact. Below are just a few examples of how your generosity and the collective support of the Triton community can help students facing basic needs challenges:
- $50 could enable the Triton Food Pantry to provide 100 meals to students experiencing food security challenges.
- $75 could provide diapers, baby wipes and other personal care items to a student with dependents for one month.
- $100 could provide a student with a grocery card and/or triton cash to meet their urgent food security needs for one month.
- Seven gifts of $250 could provide up to 30 days of on-campus emergency housing for a student facing unstable or unsafe living conditions.
- Four gifts of $500 could fund a Basic Needs Emergency Grant, providing critical financial support to a student facing acute, unexpected hardships.
