Story
Get to Know Us
Founded by UC Berkeley Student Amada Madrigal and UC Berkeley staff Dr. Amari McGee.
BARE Necessities is an initiative driven by the belief that everyone deserves access to essential clothing that promotes dignity and well-being. We serve students and their families, creating a supportive environment that encourages self-expression and sustainability.
Our work extends beyond providing clothing. We build connections and strengthen our community
through resource sharing, collaboration, and a collective commitment to uplifting those in need.
