Basic Needs Resources

Basic Needs Resources

The Basic Needs Collective at CSU is comprised of Rams Against Hunger, Student Case Management, Off-Campus Life, Housing and Dining, and other  wonderful partners across CSU’s campus and the Fort Collins Community. If you or someone you know is struggling to meet their Basic Needs, please see these resources, or make an appointment with a CSU Case Manager for more personalized information. 

No one should have to forgo meeting their basic needs at the expense of a degree, or meet the stigma that comes with being Basic Needs insecure alone. With your help, we hope to begin dismantling this stigma, and reforming the systems that contribute to basic needs insecurities in the first place, beginning at CSU.
