Your support continues to make a real difference for our students.

The Gamecock CommUnity Shop ensures that all USC students have access to free food, clothing, school supplies and everyday essentials they need to feel confident, prepared and supported. By providing a welcoming, judgment-free space, the Gamecock CommUnity Shop empowers students to focus on their goals rather than the challenges they may face outside the classroom.

Demand is surging. In fiscal year 2025, there were over 12,000 visits to the shop, an increase of more than 300% over fiscal year 2024.

Your support matters. As USC’s one-stop resource for essential support, the Gamecock CommUnity Shop is a lifeline for students facing basic needs insecurity.
