Calling All Chico State Student Parents: The Wildcat Cub Closet Is Here for You!

Announced on: Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2026

Balancing school and parenting is no small task — and you're not alone. The Well's Wildcat Cub Closet was created through the Allies for Students with Dependents Committee to better support Chico State Wildcats who are raising children while pursuing their degrees.

The Wildcat Cub Closet provides free children's clothing (newborn through age 10) exclusively for Chico State student parents. This resource is designed to help ease financial stress and remove basic needs barriers so you can stay focused on your academic goals.

Clothing is made possible through campus and community donations, and students are welcome to contribute donations as well to help support fellow Wildcat families.

Donation Guidelines:

~ Clothing must be gently used and freshly washed
~ Children's clothing only (ages 0–10)
~ Undergarments are not accepted

Drop-Off Location & Hours
The Well @ Bell Memorial Union
Monday–Friday | 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

This initiative supports Chico State's commitment to equity, inclusion, and basic needs access in alignment with the CSU Pregnant and Parenting Students Initiative and California Assembly Bill No. 2881.

We're proud to support our Wildcat families — because when student parents succeed, our whole campus community thrives.
