Los Angeles City College

Connecting students with essential resources for success

The City Cares Network is Los Angeles City College's basic needs center, and the home of several programs that provide essential resources* to students from every corner of the campus community. LACC and the LACC Foundation work together under the City Cares umbrella to offer students a variety of services and aid, depending on the student body's evolving needs. 

In addition, LACC's City Cares Network administers its own branch of the Fresh Success program, which is designed to guide and support CalFresh participants through education and training on the path to economic self-sufficiency.
