Information for Food Donors

Friendly volunteers will be going door-to-door on October 24 starting at noon, in the neighbourhoods of Belgravia, Garneau, McKernan, Queen Alexandra, and Windsor Park. Please leave your food donations on your porch by noon if you don’t want the volunteers to knock on your door. Thank you for helping hungry students focus on their studies!

Anyone living in an apartment or outside these neighbourhoods can drop off food at the University of Alberta Student Union Building on Saturday October 24th between 12 and 5 p.m. There are 2 drop off locations available:

  • You can bring your donations to the SUB basement Cascade room (room 0-49).

  • We can meet you at the Students’ Union Loading Dock (Please call 780-298-8722 when you arrive)

Campus Food Bank’s most needed items:

  • canned fish, kidney beans, chickpeas

  • canned fruits and vegetables

  • diapers, baby formula

We are recruiting for Trick or trEAT volunteering! The Campus Food Bank is hosting its annual Halloween food drive “Trick-or-trEAT,” and we need your help to bring in a LOT of food this year. Volunteer for a chance to relive your childhood trick or treating days and to support the Campus Food Bank. There are three volunteer roles with this event (door-to-door, driver-navigator teams, and sorter volunteers). Trick or TrEAT volunteer shifts are on Saturday, October 24th between 11am to 5pm.
