Cornell Basic Needs Coalition

The Cornell Basic Needs Coalition is a group of individual students and student organizations that work to help increase equitable access to basic needs in the Cornell and Ithaca communities. Our current mutual aid efforts include the Freedge and the Basic Needs Pop-ups. We partner with Cornell programs and local Ithaca organizations to expand our reach. While we work primarily out of the Cornell Ithaca campus, BNC is open to everyone, whether or not you are a Cornell student.
