Donate Food
To donate food and other essential items please fill out our donation form and bring your donations by the center during business hours. Email our Center Coordinator at jrholland@ucdavis.edu or call us with any questions.
We prefer donations of nutrient dense items and limit donations of items like junk food, sugar sweetened beverages, and other empty calories.
Toiletries & Household Essentials Donation

We are currently in need of period products, oral care, skin care, hair care, soap and laundry detergent. If you have any questions regarding acceptable donations, please email Julia Holland our Center Coordinator at jrholland@ucdavis.edu.
All donations will be placed in our Essentials Pantry. The Essentials Pantry is accessible during our business hours.

Donate Money
Tax-deductible donations to the Aggie Compass Basic Needs Center provide not only emergency food and toiletries for students in need, but direct support for programs like Fruit & Veggie Up! and equipment to help us achieve our mission – including refrigeration, student interns, and transportation for food recovery.
