Make a Difference Where it Really Counts

The Student Emergency Fund provides hope to El Camino students through community giving.Donate

During this time of uncertainty and academic upheaval, many have asked how to best help our students. The El Camino Student Emergency Fund was created in March 2020 to help El Camino students during the COVID-19 crisis. The fund supports:

  • Warrior Pantry: Food for our drive-thru Warrior Cupboard pantry to safely serve ECC students
  • Purchase of laptops for students directly impacted by the transition to remote learning
  • MiFi hot spots to provide Wi-Fi for students with no home internet access
  • Emergency funds due to lost jobs and reduced wages
  • Rent, transportation and other living expenses

Donate

No need to buy an auction item. No need to dress up. No need to "save the date" or attend a crowded event.

Simply make a gift of any size and our matching gift sponsors will match your donation up to $60,000 so you can double your dollars.

To contribute to this fund to help more students, donate today and select the "El Camino Student Emergency Fund" as the designation.

Thank you for supporting our students. The world needs more kindness during this difficult time.

Thank You

We would like to give special thanks to our matching gift sponsors (Norris Foundation, Northrop GrummanTorrance Refining Company, SoCalGas, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., and the Roadium Open Air Market) for their incredible generosity in doubling donation dollars. Our fundraising efforts have helped so many more students and their families because of you - thank you!

The following donors have generously given to the El Camino Student Emergency Fund and/or Warrior Pantry. We are grateful for your acts of kindness and your quick response to help those adversely affected by COVID-19.

Nearly $305,000 in critical support can now assist our most needy students. Again, thank you from the bottom of the Foundation's heart. ❤️
