Donate to SJSU Cares
When students struggle with food insecurity, housing instability, or other emergencies,
their ability to focus on academics and graduate on time is at risk. Your contribution
helps SJSU Cares provide direct support through prevention, education, and emergency
relief—including crisis grants, the Spartan Food Pantry, and more.
Why Donate?
- Fiscal donations allow us to purchase food and supplies in bulk, increasing impact.
- Your support helps provide personalized assistance depending on each student’s situation.
- One-time or recurring gifts help ensure we’re ready to respond when students need
help most.
