The Hawk Spot will be closed during the campus closure. We realize that many students benefit greatly from the support of the Hawk Spot, so we have gathered Sacramento Community Resources available within the community that may be used while the campus remains closed.

If you are a recent graduate and would like to donate your cap and gown, please contact Michele Steiner at (916) 691-7491 or steinem@crc.losrios.edu.

A student may receive a maximum of one student emergency fund grant of up to $500 during all combined enrollments at the Los Rios colleges. All awards are contingent upon the availability of limited funds, provided through generous donations.
