In an effort to combat hunger and poverty on campus and in the greater Guelph community, the CSA Food Bank provides graduate and undergraduate University of Guelph students access to emergency food, anti-poverty resources, and referrals to other food security, anti-poverty and financial assistance groups.  This service is always confidential.

The CSA Food Bank, started and funded by students, began in the fall of 2004. Since then we have seen the scope of our work increase dramatically as the real and often hidden issues of hunger and impoverishment become more evident. We have helped hundreds of people in need, and held a series of events that focused on raising awareness about and resistance to poverty and hunger in our communities. With more than 1200 students accessing emergency food services in the Guelph community, the need for the CSA Food Bank could not be greater

The CSA Food Bank also offers a service called "The Stuff Swap" where you can drop off and pick up used clothing, household items, books, toys, and much more. These items are available to anyone and you do not have to leave an item in order to pick one up. 

Donations of food and items for the Swap Centre are very appreciated.  If you are interested in volunteering, our volunteer application is available on our website.
