Big Red Basics

Big Red Basics provides Cornell students with free access to personal hygiene and wellness essentials. Students may enter the space - take the items they need - and leave without speaking with anyone. 

Accessing Big Red Basics

Location: Hygiene products are available in a large, red, metal cabinet located inside the Gender Equity Resource Center at 206 Willard Straight Hall. This space is within the Office of the Dean of Students, under Okensheild’s Dining Hall.

Cabinet hours: Monday–Friday, 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. Students are welcome to visit whenever they need something—no appointment, referral or check-in is required.

Big Red Basics is a collaboration between the Gender Equity Resource Center and First-Generation & Low-Income Student Support. Visit the FGLI site to learn more about this program.
