“It's truly disheartening but strikingly real that we are forced with the prospect of setting up a food bank on campus”
— Randy Boissonnault, 1991-92 UASU VP External
Campus Food Bank in published research
Are you interested in doing research with Campus Food Bank? We are keen to partner with researchers from across academic disciplines. Please get in touch!
“The majority of student clients of the UAlberta CFB who participated in this study lived in households that at times over the previous 30 days, were uncertain of having, or unable to acquire, enough food to meet the needs of all their members because they had insufficient money for food. The monetary value of participating students’ primary income sources may have been inadequate to meet both their educational and living needs.”
— “A Comparison of Characteristics and Food Insecurity Coping Strategies between International and Domestic Postsecondary Students Using a Food Bank Located on a University Campus” in The Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research, May 24, 2017
“Food insecurity compromises students’ health, diet and academic quality. Campus food banks are not the solution to student hunger. Governmental and university-based programmes and policies are needed to improve the food security situation of university students.”
— “Food insecure student clients of a university-based food bank have compromised health, dietary intake and academic quality” in Nutrition & Dietetics, Aug. 6, 2017
“Our analyses showed that most CFB student clients at University of Alberta were female, Canadian, lived alone, attended school full time, and were enrolled in undergraduate programs of study. Almost one in 5 CFB student clients lived with dependent children. Compared to the total University of Alberta student population, CFB clients were older and more likely to be an international student, enrolled in a graduate program of study, and attend school full time.”
