Fresh Food February
Help the Campus Food Bank ensure everyone on campus has access to fresh, healthy produce and meat until spring!
“Halal meat are usually expensive compared to non Halal meats. This forces Muslim students to pay more for their food. Maybe a little support for the halal meat will help to reduce that extra expenses.”
“Canned food is an easy thing to cook and to have in a house, but many times those canned foods are not eaten and take lots of space. Perhaps reduce canned food and increase other fresh products and that will be better.”
Just five years ago, Campus Food Bank supported
about 100 families per month.
Today, we support more than 1,000 families per month, comprising almost 2,000 individuals.
Fully 20 per cent of our clients now cannot cover their grocery costs outside of the food we provide.
More and more, we hear that clients cannot afford to purchase quality vegetables and meat at the grocery store anymore, and the only fresh food they eat is from our food bank.
Please, help us ensure clients have access to quality produce and meat that aligns with their own diet.
Between February 14 and 28, we hope to raise $20,000 to cover fresh food purchases through to spring, when we can begin receiving local fresh produce donations.
