Guelph Student FoodBank

  Service Updates

THE GUELPH STUDENT FOODBANK IS CURRENTLY OPERATING AT CAPACITY. STUDENTS EXPERIENCING A FOOD EMERGENCY ARE ENCOURAGED TO REVIEW THE GUELPH FOOD ACCESS GUIDE HERE.

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

What We Are: The Guelph Student FoodBank, 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. With more than 20% of students facing food insecurity, the need for the Guelph Student FoodBank couldn’t be greater.


Hours of Operation

  • The GSFB operates Monday to Thursday from 12pm until 6pm. The service is available by appointment only for registered visitors. Unfortunately, our operation is currently at capacity. This means that no new visitors are being registered at this time. Students experiencing a food emergency are encouraged to review the resources listed here

Eligibility

UofG students who have paid the Foodbank fee as part of their current semesterly tuition are eligible to access the FoodBank. The Guelph Student FoodBank provides a maximum of 30 items per registered UofG student per month; visits are limited to 2 per month.
