About Donation Drive

From Monday, November 2, 2026 to Friday, Nov. 20, 2026, Basic Needs will have donation locations on the Turlock and Stockton Campuses.

We're accepting donations to support our Warrior Food Pantries, our Clothing Closet, and our Parenting Corners. 

Last week of donations will be in alignment with our series of events for National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week November 16 to November 20.
