Long Beach City College Foundation

This year, the Long Beach City College Foundation team is raising funds to support the Student Emergency & Basic Needs Program at LBCC. 

Long Beach City College has implemented a Basic Needs program to address hunger and housing insecurity among students. The program is supported by the Healthy Viking Initiative and provides increased access to food, direct referrals to appropriate housing agencies, and information regarding transportation resources for LBCC students.

The Program's goal is to make sure every LBCC students’ Basic Needs are taken care of, so students can focus on their studies and achieve their academic and career goals without having to worry about how they are going to access food, or a safe place to sleep. The Program's staff is dedicated to helping connect students with resources on-campus and in our community. We work best when we work together, and we can only know how to help if you contact us.

A student receives the following support from the Student Emergency & Basic Needs Program: 

• Food Resources from the Viking Vault Food Pantry
• Housing Resources
• Transportation Support (Long Beach Transit passes, shuttles, etc) 
• On Campus & Off Campus Parenting Resources
• Emergency Financial Aid Resources 

You can make a promise and a life-changing difference for Long Beach City College students. Support the future of LBCC students by donating today!

The Long Beach City College Foundation provides over $3 million in scholarship and program support to the students and faculty/staff of Long Beach City College annually. We believe that Long Beach City College (LBCC) serves as the gateway to the future for our diverse community by providing access to higher education and job training to Long Beach residents.
