Cal Poly Cares Fund Matching Challenge:

Cal Poly Cares is a program that addresses students' unexpected, urgent needs and provides immediate monetary assistance.
Giving Priorities:
Cal Poly Food Pantry — GIVE NOW
The food pantry provides free food and hygiene items to 39% of students who report experiencing food insecurity, with most of its budget coming from donations that enable subsidized purchasing.
Former Foster Youth — GIVE NOW
Students who have experienced foster care often don't have the funds to purchase everything they need to outfit a dorm room, from bedding and towels to desk lamps, laundry supplies, and much more. Help us give these students a proper welcome right when they step foot on campus by providing the dorm essentials they need for a fresh start.
