Basic Needs Program

Located in San Marcos, CA, the Basic Needs Program is dedicated to empowering foster youth by providing essential resources and emergency financial assistance. Our mission is to help these young individuals transition out of survival mode, ensuring they do not have to sacrifice their health or education for basic necessities. We offer a wide range of services including financial aid, rent and utilities support, auto repairs, medical and dental assistance, and food cards, all aimed at fostering self-sufficiency and confidence. Additionally, we connect youth with mentors and workshops that cultivate valuable relationships and skills, helping them navigate challenges and focus on their future without the weight of financial stress.
